Chapter 175: Early Dynasty
Liang State, Yedu, morning court, Taihe Hall, the rising sun rose from the east, the golden sun shone from the east, and the entire Taihe Hall was covered with a layer of gold. The sun shone in from the gate of the Taihe Hall, spreading a layer of golden light to the hall. As before, the rising sun rose from the east, and the morning court began, civil and military officials entered the court one by one...
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, civil and military officials stood on both sides in two factions, very quiet. Zhu Ji had not arrived yet, but there was a heavy and depressing atmosphere brewing here.
Princess Yongle returned to the palace. Just last night, there was nothing in this book. This time, Princess Yongle left the palace. It was known that Luoshui City was captured by the Yellow Turban Army more than half a month ago. However, with Princess Yongle's return to the palace, it brought even more shocking news. Li Quan privately led his army to Chen County to attack the Ning family, and wanted to kill the Ning family...
This is shocking news. Everyone knows that before Chen Yan went to war, Ning Caichen was appointed as the captain of the cavalry by Zhu Ji because Ning Caichen saved Princess Yongle in Luoshui City. However, now, there is news that Li Quan led his troops to attack the Ning family. The news spread last night, and the high officials of the entire Yedu capital were shocked. Many people who were not sure felt that Li Quan was stupid.
The commander appointed by Zhu Ji, even if he was just a commander, was also appointed by Zhu Ji, and he had the great achievements in saving the princess. With this light system, who dared to act rashly? Li Quan took action to destroy the Ning family at this time, which was not stupid. Some people who received some special rumors could not calm down.
But if it were just these, it would be fine. Even if Li Quan destroyed the Ning family, many people would not have changed much. Anyway, it was not about themselves, and it was not about themselves. It was really uneasy. It was really uneasy for people to feel at ease. Ten thousand Red Yi Army, during the attack on the Ning family, more than 3,000 Red Yi Army died in battle. In contrast, the Ning family, except for dozens of guards, maids, servants, and important figures, were not injured, but were only injured...
No one can calm down. That is the Red-Eleven Army, the elite army in Liang Kingdom, and more than 10,000 Red-Eleven Army, but the attack on a civilian family force was damaged. Even the main general Li Quan was almost killed by Ning Caichen on the spot in this battle. In the end, Chen Yan arrived in time to save Li Quan's life. Even so, Li Quan became a useless person. This was shocking, and no one could calm down!
Li Quan, one of the helmsmen of the Chiyi Army, was known as the three Chiyi Heroes together with Li Meng and Pang Ruo, and one of the youngest generals of the dynasty. Such a powerful genius has become a useless person.
"The Ning family, is it really strong enough to resist the army?"
Some people were shocked and speculated about the strength of the Ning family. Some people who received special news looked at Qiu Minghai intentionally or unintentionally, but Qiu Minghai seemed to have not felt it, and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that Qiu Minghai's face was a little pale. Some people looked at Ji Xuan because this matter was very sensitive and involved the Ning family. Last time Ji Xuan helped Ning Caichen, his relationship with Ning Caichen was also spread...
However, all the people present were old-fashioned. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky to see something from their faces. Ji Xuan also had a calm expression and closed his eyes.
"The king is here!"
At this moment, as the eunuch had a sharp sound of goosebumps all over his body, Zhu Ji and Queen Xiao, wearing dragon robe, walked out.
"Greetings to the king, to the queen!..."
"Get up." Zhu Ji raised his eyes slightly, his face calmly and he couldn't see much change. He spoke, "My dear friends, have you ever heard something?"
Silence, silence, no one in the court spoke.
"There may be a war report on the front line."
Zhu Ji asked again, at this time, a gray-haired minister stood up and said-
"There is no report on the front line."
The minister bowed and said.
"Yes, how did I get the news? The Chiyi Army lost more than 3,000 people in Chen County."
Zhu Ji's eyes narrowed and he looked at the minister.
"this..."
The minister felt sweat on his forehead, and felt Zhu Ji's gaze. He didn't dare to raise his head. He cursed in his heart and complained. If possible, he wouldn't stand up today. In today's atmosphere, isn't he looking for death? But he is responsible for the front-line report work. Zhu Ji asked about the situation on the front line, but he couldn't do it. The others kept silent, looking at the nose and the heart, pretending not to see it.
Everyone has little snow in front of the door, and who cares about the frost on others? Those present are all tumbling in the officialdom and have become human spirits. The situation is unclear now, and no one wants to stand up.
"Why, Lord Fu won't give me an explanation? Didn't you say that there was no war report on the front line? Tell me what happened to Chiyijun in Chen County and what happened to Li Quan? Don't tell me, you don't know, um."
Zhu Ji's eyes gathered and he looked directly at the minister.
"This...this..."
The minister's forehead was sweating, but he was cursing in his heart. He also received news about Li Quan and Chi Yijun's affairs, but what if he told him to say, the atmosphere in the court suddenly froze. It was so dull and had a kind of depression.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
At this moment, Qiu Minghai stood up, Zhu Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qiu Minghai-
"explain."
"General Li's trip to Chen County may be related to me."
Silence, a silence, but Qiu Minghai's An's words fell, but it was like a bomb thrown into the hearts of everyone present. Mu Ren's eyes also opened. Looking at Qiu Minghai, Zhu Ji's eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked directly at Qiu Minghai.
"I am guilty and without the permission of the king, I asked General Li to capture the Ning family."
"You asked Li Quan to attack the Ning family!"
As Qiu Minghai's words fell, Zhu Ji's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if a ray of light was shot out, looking directly at Qiu Minghai. Everyone in the court also changed slightly. A light flashed in Mu Ren's eyes. Queen Xiao's face could not see much change. Ji Xuan looked at Qiu Minghai's back and frowned slightly. He knew Qiu Minghai too much. This old fox, now he stood up to admit his guilt, and most of his thoughts were about to have other ideas. Sure enough, after Qiu Minghai's words fell, Mu Ren's mansion stood up-
"Your Majesty, I think there must be some reason for Lord Qiu to do this."
Zhu Ji didn't say anything, looked at Mu Ren's mansion, and then looked at Qiu Minghai. Everyone present knew that Qiu Minghai was a group of people in Mu Ren's mansion.
"After ten days ago, I received news that the deaths of Lord Li and Lord Jiang were not caused by bandits, but the Ning family committed the crime. However, I thought that the Ning family had excellent martial arts skills and ordinary people were not opponents. Last time Lord Jiang went to investigate Lord Li's death, he was killed. Something similar happened again, so I told General Li, hoping that he could arrest the Ning family members, but I didn't expect..."
Wow, for a moment, the court was shaken and could not calm down. Ji Xuan's eyes condensed and stood up and retorted directly-
"What evidence does Lord Qiu have? Lord Li and Lord Jiang's death were caused by the Ning family."
"Of course there is evidence. Someone once saw with his own eyes that the murderer who killed Lord Jiang was the Ning family guard."
"It's all nonsense." Ji Xuan shouted angrily: "Just relying on the one-sided words of others, Lord Qiu said that the deaths of Lord Li and Lord Jiang were caused by the Ning family. How could Lord Qiu know whether that person was telling the truth or lies? Did Lord Qiu ever ask for confirmation? Don't you think it's too ridiculous?"
"Can I still frame the blame?" Qiu Minghai glared at Ji Hyun.
"Isn't it? You Qiu Minghai, who is? Do you want me to say it?"
Ji Xuan faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, which made Qiu Minghai's face turn red, but Ji Xuan ignored Qiu Minghai and clasped his fists at Zhu Ji.
"Your Majesty, I think Qiu Minghai is using his power for personal gain. I have received news that Qiu Qianye, the son of Lord Qiu, had a marriage with Ning Caichen in Chen County and suffered a loss."
Ji Xuan spoke and directly spat out a message that Qiu Qianye and Ning Caichen had a marriage, which made everyone present change their faces slightly. Zhu Ji's face also changed, and he looked at Qiu Minghai with sharp eyes.
"Even if the Ning family is guilty, Lord Qiu should report to the king and make a decision. When is Lord Qiu already powerful enough to mobilize the army directly? When is the Liang Kingdom? I, Lord Qiu, have become a sect of Lord Qiu, and can mobilize the army in one sentence. Qiu Minghai, when do you have the right to mobilize the army? This clearly uses power for personal gain to help and eliminate the Ning family, Qiu Minghai, where are you going to the king and the king..."
Wow, after a few words, everyone was shocked. Everyone changed their faces, and Zhu Ji's face suddenly became ugly. Yes, even if the Ning family is guilty, it is time to go through the procedures. When, you, Qiu Minghai, have such great strength to mobilize the army, do you still have the king of me in your eyes?
Mu Ren's face also changed drastically. Ji Xuan's words were too poisonous and directly touched Zhu Ji. But when it came to the point, Qiu Minghai's face looked a little bad and pale.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Ning family affairs should be thoroughly investigated."
Ji Xuan was in power and continued to say—
"Master Qiu kept saying that Lord Li and Lord Jiang were the work of the Ning family. What about the so-called evidence? Is it because someone said that Lord Li and Lord Jiang did it when Lord Li died, and then Lord Qiu, you ordered Li Quan to lead the army to attack the Ning family. Don't you think it's deserted? Your Majesty, I seriously doubt Qiu Minghai's intentions and Li Quan, who disrespects military orders and privately leads troops to attack the Ning family. Daliang Law, whoever does not allow military orders - behead!"
Ji Xuan bit the last word very hard, which made everyone present chill.
Ruthless! Too ruthless, Ji Hyun wants Ji Hyun and Lee Quan to kill him.
The civil and military officials in the court lost their voices, and Qiu Minghai's face looked ugly. He knew that he had completely fallen into this matter. If he didn't do it, he would compensate him. Li Quan's failure was completely beyond his expectations. It was like a sharp sword inserted into his chest. The most fatal thing was that Princess Yongle was also present at that time. Yongle was always a daughter, but Zhu Ji loved it. The most important thing was that according to the news, Yongle and Ning Caichen had a very good relationship. He didn't know what Yongle would say to Zhu Ji, but he knew that this time the matter was in trouble!
