"I implore Your Majesty to investigate strictly!"
"Is it General Bao pretending to be the leader of the army, or the city lord Zhou lied!"
Chapter 47
Huangfusong's eyes were cold, and he stared at Bao Hong like knives.
He believed Zhou Hao in this matter, because Zhou Hao didn't have any need to lie to himself.
Moreover, when Huangfusong was planning to introduce Zhou Hao, he had already sent someone to Zhuozhou in a hurry.
After arranging Zhou Hao to the house just now, his own cavalry has already told him about Zhou Hao!
Zhou Hao did win the battle of defending the city, and defeated Ge Po's yellow turban bandits!
Although his own cavalry didn't find out the specific details, but the information alone is enough to be more credible than Bao Hong!
"Your Majesty, this is a shocking crime. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Both the city lord Zhou and Bao Hong are suspected. I suggest bringing the city lord Zhou here so that Bao Hong can confront the city lord Zhou!"
Huangfusong spoke with a cold voice.
"Nowadays, although there are instances of turmoil in the world, and the Yellow Turban rebels are rampant again and again, our Han family still cannot tolerate any lying, pretending to be a leader, and deceiving the emperor. This is a capital offense!"
After Huangfusong spoke, everyone was shocked. They had thought that Huangfusong might target Bao Hong.
But I didn't expect to make such a big wave!
All of a sudden, the court was full of wind and clouds, and the ministers were talking a lot, and the noise seemed to be like crows.
Their eyes were fiery, as if a shark that smelled blood had such a hint of excitement.
Civil servants have never been quiet masters, and at this moment they all spoke.
But Han Lingdi's complexion instantly turned down, it was extremely ugly!
"Bao Hong, let me ask you, is what General Huangfu said true? I trust you, so I will ask you first about this matter!"
Han Lingdi's face was cloudy, like the darkness under the deep blue sea.
You must know that Bao Hong was promoted by himself, and Bao Hong was also given the position of general by himself. If Bao Hong is falsely leading the military, wouldn't it mean that Emperor Han Ling had no eyes and could not know people?
At this moment, Emperor Hanling wished he could kill Bao Hong.
He no longer has the mind to enjoy the services of the concubines.
"Bao Hong, if you tell me now that this matter has nothing to do with you, and that you contributed a lot to the battle of Ge Po, then I won't even investigate this matter!"
Emperor Han Ling's face was gloomy, and the meaning of his words was very clear.
If Bao Hong confirmed that the battle against Ge Po was indeed his contribution.
Then Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will immediately arrest Zhou Hao and conduct an investigation.
But if Bao Hong had the slightest hesitation at this moment, it would mean that he pretended to lead the army, and Emperor Ling of Han would kill him on the spot!
"Your Majesty, a humble minister, has always been loyal and has no second thoughts..." Bao Hong's legs softened, and he fell to his knees and began to cry.
This is a matter related to one's own life, so one cannot be careless.
He was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth tightly to keep his body from shaking.
His Majesty said that since he said that as long as he admits that he killed those Yellow Turban rebels, then His Majesty will trust him unconditionally.
and so.
What I have to consider now is not the crime of deceiving the emperor, but to leave the court!
After leaving the court, he immediately took the gold and silver and fled Luoyang!
"Your Majesty, please check clearly that the minister did not lie to His Majesty! It must be the city lord surnamed Zhou who saw the scene of Chen defeating the Yellow Turban rebels along the way, so he boasted to Lord Huangfu!"
"Your Majesty has been wronged, please look into it!"
The sound of Bao Hong crying made those who heard it sad and wept, but Huangfusong kept his eyebrows cold.
He believes in one thing, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Bao Hong's nature is like this, and he will definitely do such a thing as pretending to be a leader!
"Bao Hong, are you sure?"
Emperor Han Ling's face was gloomy and uncertain. If Bao Hong really lied to himself, including this time, it would be two times. Although he is stupid, he is not stupid!
If he believed a courtier pretending to be a military leader twice, he would be ridiculed by the world.
As a generation of emperors, how could he do such a foolish thing?
He stared at Bao Hong coldly, wanting Bao Hong to tell the real answer. To be honest, he was wary of Bao Hong now, and he didn't believe that much anymore.
Just as Bao Hong was about to say something, he heard Huangfusong suddenly speak in a clear voice:
"Report to Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty has always been discerning."
Huangfusong has lived in the imperial court for many years, and he has already figured out the character of Han Lingdi.
As an upright official, if you want to make an admonition and let Emperor Han Ling listen, you must praise Emperor Han Ling before entering the palace.
Let Emperor Han Ling feel that he is a wise emperor, and it will be much easier to advise later.
Sure enough, Emperor Han Ling's expression immediately eased, and Huangfusong, who observed this scene, continued to speak:
"Wei Chen knows that this matter is of great importance, so he sent his men to Zhuozhou to investigate before that, and brought back several Liming people from Zhuozhou to testify."
Huangfusong's expression was extremely flat, as if he was talking about an innocuous matter.
When the people around heard Huangfusong's words, they were instantly stunned.
The courtier took a deep breath.
Huangfusong is old and cunning, he has already planned everything.
When Bao Hong heard this sentence, he was in a cold sweat, his legs became weak, and he sat down on the ground with a sudden thrust.
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake, I know I'm wrong!"
How dare Bao Hong play tricks at this moment?
Huangfusong has always been upright and extremely cautious, so it is very normal to be able to do this step.
And once the confrontation with those Liming people, then the fact that he pretended to be the leader of the army will be exposed.
