Chapter 697: Wang Yun, slapped in the face [1]

~5 min read 944 words

Wang Yun was in the middle, wearing a black official robe.

To his right was Zhu Jun, and to his left was Huangfu Song.

Behind Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song followed Sun Jian, Sima of the Auxiliary Army, and Fu Xie, Sima of the Protector Army, respectively.

Added to the various officials of Yangzhai, a group of more than a dozen people headed toward the carriage Zuo Feng was riding in.

In front of Zuo Feng's carriage were the Imperial Guards, and in front of the carriage was a young eunuch holding a tally.

Just by looking, Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song knew that Zuo Feng must have come with an imperial decree.

However, because they had Bo Cai's head in hand, the three were not too worried; even if there were a decree of reprimand, Bo Cai's head would be enough to appease it.

"Yuzhou Inspector Wang Yun."

"Right General of the Household Zhu Jun."

"Left General of the Household Huangfu Song."

"We respectfully welcome the Angel." The three bowed after arriving in front of Zuo Feng's carriage.

The young eunuch Zuo Feng on the carriage frowned, covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief in disgust, got off the carriage, and scanned Wang Yun and the others.

"Is this how you suppress the rebellion?"

After getting off the carriage, Zuo Feng directly questioned them: "What time is it already?"

"You are still holed up in the city, and haven't even opened the city gate?"

"His Majesty has given you high official positions and generous salaries, letting you suppress the rebel soldiers, and this is how you suppress them?"

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song exchanged glances.

It was clear that Zuo Feng must have come with the Emperor's reprimand.

So Wang Yun immediately bowed slightly and said: "Eunuch Zuo, you do not understand, we..."

"Enough!" Before Wang Yun could finish his words, Zuo Feng waved his hand to interrupt: "I don't have time to listen to your explanations. If you want to explain, wait until you return to Luoyang to explain to His Majesty in person."

Listening to Zuo Feng's words, Wang Yun was taken aback.

Return to Luoyang?

Is the Emperor going to dismiss them from office?

This...

This won't do.

Wang Yun immediately said anxiously: "Eunuch Zuo, there is actually a reason for this, we..."

"Are you annoying?" Zuo Feng frowned and said: "I said I don't have time, and I'm not interested in listening to your explanations."

"I came here to read the imperial decree."

Saying this, Zuo Feng looked around and asked: "Where is the Liangzhou Shepherd and General Who Breaks the Qiang?"

Hmm?

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were all taken aback.

Duan Yu?

This Zuo Feng had actually come to find Duan Yu.

Wang Yun, standing between Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, rolled his eyes.

"Eunuch Zuo, Duan... Duan Yu is not in the city at this moment." Wang Yun looked at Zuo Feng, then changed the subject and continued: "However, we encountered Duan Yu's troops in the direction of the Xunshui River yesterday. I don't know if Duan Yu is nearby."

"Since Eunuch Zuo is here to find Duan Yu, why not enter the city first?"

Hearing that Duan Yu was not in the city, Zuo Feng frowned slightly.

Wang Yun invited him to enter the city, and Zuo Feng did not refuse, but boarded the carriage instead.

Zuo Feng had come with an imperial decree on this trip.

It would certainly not do to not see Duan Yu.

So, at Wang Yun's invitation, Zuo Feng chose to enter the city and wait.

Zuo Feng boarded the carriage, and Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song's group naturally led the way in front.

Wang Yun, walking in front, turned his head and glanced at Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song beside him.

"Gongwei, Yizhen, this is the perfect opportunity to impeach Duan Yu." Wang Yun lowered his voice and said: "I estimate that this young eunuch came here with His Majesty's decree, likely to see if Duan Yu has made any achievements in suppressing the rebels."

"It is just right; we can take this opportunity to submit a memorial to impeach Duan Yu, saying that Duan Yu avoided battle and has had no achievements after being in Yingchuan for over a month."

"In this way, we can present Bo Cai's head and the great achievement of defeating the rebels."

"Even if His Majesty is determined to protect Duan Yu, it won't be so easy."

"And our subsequent suppression of the rebels will be easier without Duan Yu's interference."

Zhu Jun nodded with a sneer: "What Zishi said makes sense."

"If it weren't for Duan Yu sending troops to snatch the credit this time, how could the primary credit for beheading Bo Cai have almost been lost?"

"As long as Duan Yu is here for one day, we must be on guard against him for one day."

"It would be better to take this opportunity to directly submit a memorial to impeach Duan Yu."

"Brother Yizhen, what do you think?" Zhu Jun looked at Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song thought with hesitation and then looked at the carriage Zuo Feng was riding in behind them: "This Zuo Feng is a young eunuch in the palace."

"He is a eunuch, and Duan Yu has a very good relationship with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and the others. If we impeach Duan Yu like this, will he be willing to stand on our side?"

Wang Yun laughed and said: "Such a filthy creature is nothing more than someone who covets wealth." ===== CHAPTER 699 =====
