Chapter 183 "Who are you talking about" When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he even leaned forward slightly, and his tone of voice when he spoke was also different from before, with a hint of calm and self-power.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi replied without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, the person I am talking about is the northern bandit Dou Ba who was executed on the spot in Tuzhou a month ago."
Emperor Zhengcang's eyes immediately narrowed slightly, but he looked at Zuo Chi silently.
The memorial from a month ago will not be forgotten soon, let alone Emperor Zhengcang, who is in charge of the people of the world.
It wasn't that Emperor Zhengcang didn't know who Dou Ba was, but it was precisely because he knew Dou Ba's identity that he had such an incomprehensible look and tone.
"You said that Dou Ba has been executed on the spot in Tuzhou, why do you want me to summon him now?"
Emperor Zhengcang looked at Zuo Chi and asked.
Zuo Chi raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhengcang.
Although he could not clearly see Emperor Zhengcang's expression at this time, Zuo Chi could clearly feel that Emperor Zhengcang's eyes had been staring at him, so Zuo Chi said: "Whether Dou Ba is alive or dead, the emperor will know at the first call."
When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he relaxed and leaned against the back of the dragon chair, but his eyes never left Zuo Chi, as if he was considering the truth or falsehood of Zuo Chi's words.
However, Emperor Zhengcang turned his head slightly and glanced at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch immediately understood Emperor Zhengcang's intention and walked quickly towards the inner hall.
"Oh, since Mr.
Xiaozuo has said so, how can there be any unreasonable statement?"
As soon as Emperor Zhengcang finished speaking, he immediately heard the eunuch in charge at the entrance of the hall shout loudly: "The Emperor has a decree.
Xuan Dou Ba will come to you immediately."
Dou Ba, who had been waiting outside the hall door, immediately trembled when he heard the sound.
Immediately, his whole body was filled with unspeakable restlessness, and he watched the eunuch who had finished speaking walk towards him.
Then he went up to him and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way."
The eunuch nodded and immediately took Dou Ba into the hall.
The eunuch had been instructed by Zuo Chi before, and now he waited until Dou Ba was beside Zuo Chi.
Before he left, he reminded Dou Ba in a low voice: "Kneel down."
When Dou Ba heard the words, he immediately knelt down, bowed and said: "Caomin Dou Ba, please bow to the Emperor.
Long live the Emperor.
Long live the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has not yet spoken.
Why did you announce your name first and not say that you are a fugitive who has committed a heinous crime?
You are so rude to your Majesty.
You should be charged with lese majesty."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Dou Ba finished speaking and before he could raise his head from kowtowing, an official from the Ministry of Rites stood up and reprimanded him loudly.
When Zuo Chi heard this, he looked at the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Seeing that the person seemed to be a member of Concubine Song's natal family in my impression.
Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Why, the emperor couldn't speak in front of him, but he made trouble in front of him in the court?
Unexpectedly, as soon as this started, some people couldn't bear it anymore "Your Majesty, aren't you curious why Dou Ba came back from the dead?"
Zuo Chi took a step forward and looked at Emperor Zhengcang and said.
Emperor Zhengcang seemed to have never seen such a scene for a long time.
I was a little surprised to see Zuo Chi and the official from the Ministry of Rites in the audience have their own opinions.
But he didn't say a word.
At this time, the eunuch who was the emperor's chamberlain who had left before hurriedly ran back, bowed and held a scroll all the way to Emperor Zhengcang.
"Bring it here."
Emperor Zhengcang stretched out his hand and said lightly.
The eunuch immediately placed the scroll in Emperor Zhengcang's hands very respectfully.
Emperor Zhengcang sat back after getting the scroll.
He leaned on the back of the chair and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
He frowned when he saw that the portrait of Dou Ba painted on it was similar to the people in the audience. .

It is undoubtedly Dou Ba The emperor did not speak, and no one among the ministers standing in the audience dared to speak rashly, but they all looked at Zuo Chi and Dou Ba beside Zuo Chi with confusion and curiosity.
When the official from the Ministry of Rites saw that Emperor Zhengcang didn't say a word after he rebuked Dou Ba, he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.
Seeing that Zuo Chi was still standing straight and motionless as before, he gritted his teeth and held on.
He didn't go back.
Before going to court, the official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly received an order from Concubine Song, asking him to suppress Zuo Chi in the court.
Although he did not understand the reason, Concubine Song was the support of their clan, so he had to agree.
“What a courage” While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard an angry shout from the emperor, and the official of the Ministry of Rites immediately knelt on the ground in fright.
All civil and military officials in the court immediately lowered their heads, and Dou Ba lowered his head when he heard the sound.
Tian's power is indeed unpredictable.
Dou Ba only thought of this sentence at this time.
Zuo Chi, however, still stood upright.
Seeing Zuo Chi's appearance, Emperor Zhengcang squinted his eyes for a long time.
Seeing that Zuo Chi was still motionless, he relaxed his tone, but still said seriously: "A felon who has been sentenced to death has now appeared in my court.
Mr.
Xiao Zuo, do you have anything to say?"
Zuo Chi raised his head when he heard this and said: "Wei Chen wants to avenge Dou Ba today."
"What kind of grievances does he have to redress his grievances?
He wants you to come and redress his grievances."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang immediately leaned forward and continued: "Do you know where this place is to redress grievances, Master Xiao Zuo?
Do you know the consequences?"
Zuo Chi replied immediately without hesitation:
"Dou Ba's injustice is so great that it is unparalleled by other people.
I ask Your Majesty to draw a clear lesson and provide justice."
Emperor Zhengcang saw that Zuo Chi ignored the dissuasion implicit in his words and insisted on avenging Dou Ba in the Jinluan Hall, so he could only say: "That being the case, I'll talk to you first.
If it's true that Dou Ba was wronged, then that's it.
If not, then that's it."
When Zuo Chi heard this, he still bowed and saluted in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and said in a firm tone: "Please, Your Majesty, be aware of everything and return Dou Ba's reputation as innocent."
"Good."
Emperor Zhengcang had always admired and loved his nephew.
Now that he saw Zuo Chi still insisting on the justice in his heart despite his intimidation, he couldn't help but clenched the armrests of the dragon chair and said with admiration: "Since you understand, you still insist on avenging Dou Bazhen regardless of your own identity, but you are also brave."
As Emperor Zhengcang spoke, he stood up from the dragon chair, slowly took two steps forward, looked at Dou Ba, who kept his head bowed and kept kneeling, and said in a deep voice: "Dou Ba, raise your head and speak."
"Yes."
Dou Ba raised his head after hearing this, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang nodded slightly and turned his eyes towards the official of the Ministry of Rites who was still standing aside.
When he saw the official of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately bowed and stepped back in a hurry.
The contrast with Dou Ba and Zuo Chi was so great that Zhengcang was shocked.
The emperor frowned.
After the official of the Ministry of Rites stepped back, he did not dare to raise his head to look at Emperor Zhengcang.
He was sweating profusely and secretly regretted his behavior just now, which may have angered the emperor.
Emperor Zhengcang paused, and then said to Dou Ba in a deep voice: "Dou Ba, since you have been wronged, tell the truth and don't talk nonsense, which will ruin the name of the master of the gods
