Leaving aside the fact that stalling for time was actually the best way to deal with it at the moment. This was because General Evil Six already held the advantage, and the more he froze here, the more trouble he would cause!

Ceng Guofan wanted to interrupt the assembly from the start, which was to give the various powers the time to take action in secret. The Emperor of the battlefield had lost, and now they had to fight in secret!

Ci Xi was so angry that he almost fainted. The blood pressure in his body was so high that it almost exploded, as if there was someone constantly strumming the three strings in his head.

bounce bounce … Every time she moved it, it felt like she was pulling on her nerve!

With a splitting headache, at this time, Ci Xi could no longer make any decisions!

Ci An was the one who stopped the battle, he immediately understood Great Marshal Zeng's plan to rescue him, and immediately stopped the battle with an order!

Although Lian Xing who was in Ministry of Internal Affairs had openly pledged allegiance to General Xie Zi Liu, Ministry of Internal Affairs was not a place where only one person could rule. There were three thousand permanent staff members in the capital city!

Such a huge team was not something that Lian Xing could control by himself. As long as Man Shun and the evidence were to be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Empress Dowager would have room to move around once they arrived at the forbidden city.

Prince Kung was not stupid, of course he knew the principle of taking advantage of victory to pursue, and immediately expressed his different opinion!

"The empress dowager isn't appropriate!" It's extremely inappropriate! " Yi Yun said, "Then Man Shun and Sun Xiaogou are linked together. We have more than six hundred thousand silver coins that went into hiding and stolen treasures from the imperial palace. We still don't know the origins of the remaining six hundred thousand silver coins!"

"It's absolutely impossible to say that there are no accomplices in this palace! This case should be handed over to the minister of nine city gates or the Punishment Department for trial! "

"I'm afraid that this official won't be able to deal with the imperial court's judgement!"

"Yi!" Are you suspecting I? " Ci An was immediately enraged.

"I don't dare!" This subject does not have the guts to do so. This is the biggest case that has occurred in the country's imperial court in the past two hundred years! We can't not be cautious! "

"We should at least give an explanation to the future generations! I can't boil a pot of muddled porridge! "

Hehehe … Great Marshal Zeng immediately laughed, "The biggest case of the eunuchs? Prince Kung is really forgetful, you think such a small thing is worth it to brag about it? "

"Have you forgotten that during the Qing Dynasty, the Heavenly Justice Sect rebelled and invaded the Forbidden City? Isn't that the city gate opened by the eunuchs?"

"Five years ago, An Dehai's garrison went to stop Xiao Letian's army, and before the war, they led their troops to harm the village. Hundreds of innocent civilians died tragically, and thousands of houses were looted and burned …"

"So why do I have to chop off An Dehai's head in the end? Isn't it to pacify the people's anger! "

"Which of these cases is not bigger than today's? Prince Kung is making a big fuss over nothing! "

Faced with Ceng Guofan's retort, General Xie Zi Liu did not dare to be careless, "Marshal's words are serious! Maybe Man Shun's case is not the biggest, but stealing treasures of the palace without permission is also an unforgivable crime! "

"Think about it, if even the imperial guards can't stop these thieves, then how can we guarantee the safety of the emperor and empress dowager?"

"This is no longer a matter of stealing money. This is a big loophole in the safety of the Forbidden City. This is a huge matter that concerns the nation!"

He really knows how to use this as an excuse to show off. He really knows how to get involved in the sand! These beautiful words were enough to cover Zai Chun's sin of stealing the door!

The meaning of those words were very clear. The previous restriction system was good, it was something like this that appeared after you, Zai Chun, seized the Donghua Gate!

These thieves were Donghua Gate, the Donghua Gate had already become a black hole in the Forbidden City!

Ceng Guofan laughed coldly, "Then according to Your Highness's meaning, we will be waiting here to hear the judgement result without eating or drinking? "Your Royal Highness, can you guarantee that the results of the trial will come out in half a day?"

"Good!" "If you want to end the case by obtaining the criminal's confession this afternoon, then this old official will wait here!"

"But what if you can't? Let the empress dowager starve together? "

"This old official doesn't understand!" For such a big case, logically speaking, it would take a long time to solve. The more important the case, the more careful we have to be.

"But today, Prince Kung is in a hurry, and couldn't wait to kill him … Could it be that Your Highness intends to conceal something? "

"Oh right, this old subject has forgotten to ask something just now …" You said that the soldiers were sent to arrest them after receiving intelligence reports from the inner circle! "

"Excuse me, who is the insider? Who was that person? How can you be so sure that the octagonal glass well has a treasure cave? "

"Hand over the person who sent the snitch!" Don't even think about making excuses, the one leading the team today is your precious son, belle Cheng! "

"If you didn't have a chance, would you have sent your son out in person?"

The older the better! Great Marshal Zeng had been born fighting all his life, so when officials fought in the battlefield, they had to fight even more. The tricks of the Six Ghostblades could drive Zai Chun crazy, but against the Great Marshal Zeng, it was as easy as farting.

"My prince!" This old official really doesn't understand … You can even gather information about Man Shun in the palace who is in charge of stealing things, and it is so accurate! "

"How can you be so accurate when you can get the octagonal glass well in one go?"

"Could it be …" This palace has many of your spies! "

"Shut up!" Prince Kung was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on as he shouted loudly. You dare to slander This King! "

"Defamation? Since it's a slander, then just reveal your inside information! "You have to explain, why is there such accurate information?"

"This is the imperial city's inner palace! How did you get such accurate information!? Say something … My Prince Kung! "

Ouch … The eunuchs in the palace all breathed a sigh of relief. It could be said that they had turned the tables around. Just now, when they saw the emperor being bullied, all of them felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.

The old marshal was finally able to turn the situation around slightly, but it was only to slightly suppress the enemy's overbearing attitude. The situation could not be changed!

No matter what, Man Shun had been captured outside the palace, and the silver was also copied out.

Ceng Guofan turned his head and looked at the Tongzhi Emperor, the little emperor and the old marshal looked at each other with a pale face, and at that moment, it seemed to be like they had returned to the time when Zai Chun sneaked into Nanjing and met Ceng Guofan five years ago.

At that time, Great Marshal Zeng and his brother Jiu Shuai knelt on the ground and swore to the Emperor that they would be loyal to Tongzhi their whole lives, without a single ounce of hesitation!

Today, Ceng Guofan had fulfilled his oath. The gaze he looked at Zai Chun with, was calm and profound!

Zai Chun understood the old marshal's thoughts, the encouraging look in his eyes allowed him to regain a hint of confidence and courage!

The little emperor sat upright on the throne and took two deep breaths to restore some color to his face!

"Pass on my decree... This case should be handled according to royal uncle's wishes! Hand over the evidence to the Jiumentu Palace! "

"The Jiumentu Palace will look after the silver and the treasures!"

"As for all the people involved, send all those from the palace back to us …" I want to interrogate these bastards myself! "

As for the other unrelated personnel, let the Jiumentu Palace investigate!

"Then it's done! If anyone isn't satisfied yet... Hehehe … "If I can't even do this, how can I still be the emperor?!"
