Chapter 123 The Emperor

On August 27th, it drizzles and is stuffy.

At this time, the imperial city has enough rain, light rain every three days and heavy rain every half a month. Sometimes the moat can't flow and overflow. It is being remediated every year but it can't be cut off.

At the right time, two small doors opened, and officials from various departments and yamen entered one after another. When they entered the palace wall, they had to go to their respective yamen. They were young or old, but their eyes were full of nifty figures. They were not good at being a occupant here, and they had to be smart.

After entering the door, I am actually still far from each yamen. The nearest walking time is also a stick of incense, so I don’t look at the official robe, just by walking by myself or carrying the official sedan chair, and you will know the level of the title. At least I can sit in the sedan chair in the palace.

Moreover, one advantage of the third-rank official is that he does not need to squeeze in with others. A separate small door next to him is prepared for these big guys.

There are also colors for official sedans. The red ones are military officials, the dark green ones are civil servants, and the orange ones are from the prince's family.

In addition to these three colors, there is also a black official sedan, the Xuanqingwei one is painted black like their brocade robe, with dark flowers on it.

In the entire Xuanqingwei, only Pang Ban is a third-rank official who can sit in a sedan chair in the palace.

Moreover, when the black sedan chair comes, even if there are other sedan chairs beside it, they will either speed up and walk away, and they will not follow along anyway.

Since its establishment, Xuanqingwei has been not the same as all the officials in the court, and it is impossible to get involved.

One helps the emperor and herders, the other helps the emperor kill ghosts and monsters.

Speaking of the emperor, Pang Ban in the sedan chair always felt pressure. This was the 21st year he was the commander of Xuanqingwei, and it was the 25th year after the emperor ascended the throne. The relationship between the two kings and ministers is also a good idea. Pang Ban always felt that he was the one who knew the emperor the best.

But in recent years, Pang Ban found that he was wrong. The emperor was not something he could understand.

There is no major tribute today, so there is no need to go to the Hall of Wanmin. According to the emperor's habits, Pang Ban went to the Hall of Qinzheng. There are also several ministers from various departments and right prime ministers. However, these people formed a few small circles and ignored Pang Ban in black robe and avoided it far away.

From the hour of Mao to the hour of Si, the emperor still did not summon him. The people who came around were almost gone. The right prime minister came in and came out and nodded at Pang Ban with a smile. The gloating in his smile was almost uncovered.

So what if you were favored in the past? Now the emperor doesn’t even want to see you.

As a royal hawk, it is normal that it is not popular. Pang Ban has always had this self-consciousness. But if the hawk is disliked by his owner, the consequences will be that he will only wait for cooking. This is also an important reason why the nobles and nobles join forces with the Xiu tribe to stretch their claws towards Xuan Qingwei.

However, Pang Ban never sat and waited for death. He knew that no matter how the emperor looked at him, the Xuanqingwei was an indispensable part of the dynasty, and even had to be independent of local organization to play its greatest role, so he was not worried that the emperor would agree to the split of the Xuanqingwei. What he was worried about was that the emperor chose to agree to their suggestions to add a military supervisor to the Xuanqingwei in order to quell the resentment of the nobles and the clan. This would be a big change in Xuanqingwei.

"Pang, please come back. Your Majesty is exhausted and I don't want to see you." The eunuch came over with a smile and sent a message to Pang Ban. Almost all this time, the emperor still did not see him this time.

"Empress Wang, please submit this file. Your Majesty may summon you after reading it." Pang Ban took out the file file from Licheng Guard that Jiang Cheng brought him and handed it over, while staring at the person in front of him with his eyes as tight as an eagle.

"This..." The eunuch Wang wanted to refuse, but felt the sharpness in the other party's eyes but did not dare, so he nodded, reluctantly took the file and left a sentence "Wait for a moment" and entered the Qinzheng Hall again.

After a while, the eunuch with a strange face walked out again in broken steps. Although his tone was the same, the content changed: "Mr. Pang, your Majesty summoned him."

Pang Ban nodded and finally felt relieved. When the emperor was willing to see him, he said that the matter in the file also made the emperor realize the seriousness.

After entering Qinzheng Hall, I walked through a lake and stone landscape, and finally entered a huge study room.

The study room has a bright yellow tone, with bookshelfs all over the walls hanging on one side. There is a map of the Jingji Dynasty territory. There is a huge desk in front of the map, with many things placed in a scattered manner on the table. A man with gray hair is sitting at the table holding a file and looking carefully.

"Pang Ban meets with His Majesty!"

“…”

Without answering, Pang Ban did not dare to get up after kneeling down. He could not even lower his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, a low voice sounded in front of me, my voice was slightly sandy, and I felt like an old smoke.

"What are you going to do about this?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, you are planning to follow the trend and eliminate the Wen family and Jingbei Army in one fell swoop."

"Hmph, this ungrateful wolf in the Wen family is brave enough, but I didn't expect that the Jingbei Army was so decayed. You Xuan Qingwei are also responsible for this matter!"

Pang Bangang, who was slightly straightened up, bent down again, and said with his head on the ground: "I know the crime, please punish him."

Xuanqingwei has supervisory duties in all armies, similar to observers, and has no right to interfere in military affairs, but has the responsibility to find and discover omissions in the military and report them. The Jingbei Army was suspected of privately trafficking military weapons this time, but Xuanqingwei did not report it at all. What does this mean?

"snort!"

I didn't say how to punish me, but I was silent again.

"Tell me what you plan."

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to be fast than slow at this time, and it's better to start tightening from the head first..." Pang Ban began to break up the plans he had made in the past two days, which was generally similar to what Jiang Cheng thought before, but the details should be more detailed and the overall experience was more sophisticated.

"Tomorrow, write a detailed secret note and hand it over, and leave it."

After the matter was finished, Pang Ban was kicked out without having to communicate more. He clearly felt the neglect from the emperor.

Pang Ban shook his head. The emperor's attitude made him uneasy, but fortunately, the emperor's attitude towards the case brought out by Licheng was still very clear, and he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes as always.

Thinking of this, Pang Ban called the sedan chair owner faster. He rushed back to the public office. Today, he would write the specific details into a secret report. He even needed to recruit people to think about them specifically several times. Time was very tight.
