Chapter 221
Cover up the lost face first, then, it's time to settle accounts after the fall.
The old foxes in the room grew taller than each other. They saw the emperor's face and realized that the emperor was about to have a seizure. They had long expected, one by one, their eyes drooping, and the old monk was standing at the foot of the hall.
The emperor first attacked the local officials: "There was a fire in the palace, and the prefect of Weihui and others were not equipped with a spoon of water, which caused a catastrophe. Take down all the officials of Weihui's house and arrest them in the imperial prison for interrogation."
Lu Heng stepped forward and saluted, and responded unsurprisingly. For the sake of the court's face, the emperor could not directly say what Cheng Youhai and others did, but the fire alone was enough for them to die several times. Cheng Youhai was detained by Jin Yiwei for trial. How to convict is entirely up to Lu Heng.
The emperor finished scolding the local officials and scolding the king, and finally even the cabinet was guilty of oversight. Guo Xun and Chen Yin tensed together. After dealing with the administrative officials, it was their turn.
Chen Yin was drenched in cold sweat, Jin Yiwei was the emperor's personal army, and his biggest duty was to guard the emperor. Marquis Wu Ding, Duke Cheng Guogong and others are at best not good at escorting, and Chen Yin, the person in charge of Jinyiwei, has seriously neglected his duties.
Chen Yin had been scolded by the emperor once before because he was not at the scene when someone complained about his grievance. Who knew that a fire broke out later, and the anger in the emperor's heart could be imagined. How terrifying is a leader of Jinyiwei who has lost the emperor's heart.
As soon as the emperor came up, he aimed at Chen Yin, and even if he was in charge of more than 6,000 Jinyiwei guards, he could not protect the emperor, which was enough to make the emperor's patience with Chen Yin drop to the bottom. The emperor was furious and cursed Chen Yin in front of important civil and military officials, and even in front of Chen Yin's subordinate Lu Heng. Chen Yin was extremely embarrassed, but he did not dare to argue.
Chen Yin knew that his commander-in-chief had come to an end. The emperor was a nostalgic person, and Chen Yin came from Xing Wangfu. If Chen Yin didn't refute and let him deal with it, the emperor might not kill him if he took care of his old feelings. Chen Yin was not convinced, and stubbornly talked with the emperor, it was not just dismissed from office.
Not to mention, the little brat named Lu standing behind him was staring at him and waiting for him to make mistakes.
The emperor treated them equally, and the first assistant was scolded. How could Duke Cheng be exempted from the custom. It's just that the emperor remembered the friendship of Marquis Wuding supporting the Empress Dowager Jiang, and did not lose Guo Xun's face, but Guo Xun's nephew and son-in-law Fu Tingzhou was not so decent, and was scolded on behalf of Marquis Wuding. Seeing that everyone present was scolded once, only Lu Heng was still standing.
The emperor was tired of sipping tea, the room fell into a tense silence, and everyone's attention shifted to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and waited. When the emperor put down the tea cup, his tone had eased, and he said, "Lu Heng has done a good job in saving the car, but he was injured in the fire, so he deserves a reward. I heard that your clothes were burnt out in the fire. The python suit, the golden belt, and the ten horses of brocade will be given to you, and the commanders will all know together."
All command the same knowledge!
The last few words were settled, and everyone thought numbly, "Sure enough", not knowing whether they should be surprised or not. It has been less than half a year since the last promotion, and Lu Heng has been promoted again. This time, he is from the second-rank commander Tongzhi, second only to the commander of the commander of the Jinyiwei. But Chen Yin had just fallen out of favor with the Holy Front, and Lu Heng had the same command and knowledge, which was tantamount to the real power boss of Jinyiwei.
Although Chen Yin was still the commander, everyone present understood that Lu Heng officially replaced Chen Yin and took charge of Jinyiwei.
Lu Heng was very calm when he heard the first few rewards. That's the way the emperor is. He doesn't give too much money to the real power. And the emperor is rich all over the world, gold and silver are just a number to him, and the gift of clothes can truly reflect closeness.
Until Lu Heng heard the final hammer, a slight smile finally appeared on his lips, which disappeared in an instant. He raised his hand and thanked him straightly and straightly: "Thank you Lord Long En, this minister will not be rude."
After coming out of the hall, the eunuch saw Lu Heng and was obviously flattered. They smiled and cupped their hands to Lu Heng: "Congratulations, Mr. Lu."
Lu Heng also smiled and thanked him. The sun shone on his red flying fish suit, and the golden light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
At the age of twenty-three, he was ranked from the second rank and became the real leader of Jinyiwei. Anyone who sees this experience will sigh.
It is really a young man who is full of ambition and high-spirited.

Therefore, Xuannv often wears the star of Taibai, and wears the pearl of Taiming in her ears, which illuminates her body and prolongs her life without dying. —— "Tai Shang Lao Jun Zhong Jing"
Chapter 73
Lu Heng was promoted to the commander Tongzhi, and the first thing a new officer did when he took office was to take over the responsibility of escorting.
Chen Yin has retired, and it is estimated that he will have to find a reason to resign when he returns to Beijing. Now the actual person in charge of Jinyiwei is Lu Heng. If something happens to the palace, it will be Lu Heng's responsibility. This is not a trivial matter. Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at him, Chen Yin was dragged down because of this mistake, and Lu Heng can't repeat the same mistakes.
Lu Heng first went to check the six thousand Jinyiwei and the two thousand honor guards. He was familiar with the manpower and re-arranged the defense tasks. He was also distracted to deal with the necessary entertainment, and he was too busy. When he finally took time out, the sky was already a phoenix ashes, and the sunset melted gold.
Another team sent by Lu Heng also returned. Guo Tao spoke back and forth, saying that according to the emperor's instructions, he found a cave in Lingshan, where more than a hundred scrawny men were imprisoned. According to the people inside, there were more than 200 people in the mountain at the beginning, but during this period of time, some people died of exhaustion and illness, and no one cared when they died. They could only pile up under the mine. Less than half left.
