Chapter VIII Daily Trial (1)

Chapter 8 Daily Review (One)

When Zhu Yinglong woke up, there was no sign of Chen Qianqian around him. After asking, it turned out that Chen Qianqian had left the palace early and rushed home. Xu Yingyuan made an arbitrary decision and sent eight eunuchs with some martial arts to follow and protect him.

After washing up, he returned to Nanshu. Yanhong had been waiting there for a long time, and had a bowl of millet porridge and seven or eight steamed dumplings. Then he ordered Xu Yingyuan to set up a ceremony and go to Dali Temple.

The carriage left the Meridian Gate, passed Duan Gate, Chengtian Gate left the Imperial City, and slowly headed along the Imperial Street to Dali Temple.

When the emperor's dragon chariot had just left the Meridian Gate, He Tengjiao, the Dali Temple minister who had already been waiting in the Dali Temple, as well as a group of civil and military officials, and the deacons of the Hezhong Yamen Run, received the news, and all walked out of the Dali Temple, lined up to welcome the arrival of the Holy Driving.

Today is not a court ceremony. As the minister of Dali Temple and the chief official of Dali Temple, He Tengjiao is naturally ranked first among the officials and welcomes the lord.

"Emperor, Lord He and all the civil and military officials are waiting for you at the gate of Dali Temple!" Xu Yingyuan whispered to Zhu Yinglong in the dragon chariot.

"Well, I understand. When I'm here, I'll just fall into the chariot." Zhu Yinglong ordered.

When the dragon chariot reached about ten feet away from where He Tengjiao stood, Xu Yingyuan shouted "Dropping chariot!", and the dragon chariot carried by sixteen people slowly fell.

Xu Yingyuan went to lift the warm curtain, and the red shadow dragon wearing a black gold dragon robe with gold wire was slowly walked out of the dragon chariot, with his expression not angry and powerful, which made people dare not look up.

"My minister, He Tengjiao, the minister of Dali Temple, welcomes the lord, long live, long live!" He Tengjiao led the leader knelt down on both knees and shouted loudly. He Tengjiao could not say that this kneeling was due to the rituals of the king and the ministers, or he couldn't help but kneel down and bow to him!

The row of civil and military officials behind them also knelt down by shouting "Long Live" and Ma Gu and others knelt down between the yamen runners and the deacons behind them. However, she was not so respectful, and she quietly looked up at Zhu Yinglong. Because the two were a little far apart, Zhu Yinglong could not find Ma Gu who was kneeling in the yamen runners and the deacons, and Ma Gu did not see the emperor's face clearly.

"Let's just flat!" Zhu Yinglong was used to the scene of kneeling and bowing, and said loudly with his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the space of the court is small, and there are too many officials coming. I beg the emperor to move the lobby to the front yard of the court!" He Tengjiao came forward and reported.

"He Aiqing, you are very thoughtful and accurate!" Zhu Yinglong smiled and nodded in agreement.

He Tengjiao looked happy and said, "I obey the order!"

"Your Majesty, it takes some time to decorate the lobby. Can you go to the second hall to rest for a while?" He Tengjiao stepped forward to guide Zhu Yinglong into the Dali Temple Road.

Zhu Yinglong nodded and agreed, and came to the second hall of Dali Temple with He Tengjiao. He Tengjiao ordered people to present fragrant tea. Zhu Yinglong didn't dislike it. He picked it up and took a sip, and asked, "He Aiqing, you leave all the officials and take me here alone. What do you have to say?"

"The emperor forgives the crime, and the empress is just responding to the entrusted people. That's why..." He Tengjiao was so scared that he knelt down and said.

"I have seen it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have come to these two halls with you. Let me tell you, who should entrust you?" Zhu Yinglong smiled. Since He Tengjiao had something to ask, he naturally made preparations early and could complete the arrangement of the lobby in an instant. Why should I go to these two halls to rest, and throw all the officials aside, and follow him alone. It is obvious that there is something to say.

"Report to the Emperor, if the case of Fengcheng Hou, this Magu Ma is clearly the victim, and she is also the daughter of a chieftain in Miaojiang, which has a great relationship. Yesterday, she begged the Wei minister to ask for a meeting on his behalf, hoping that the Emperor would summon him alone. Seeing that a weak woman came to Beijing alone, there must be something big, so she dared to accept it." He Tengjiao asked.

"She wants to see me?" Zhu Yinglong was stunned for a moment and said.

"He Aiqing, do you see any clues?" Zhu Yinglong asked. He knew that Ma Gu came to Beijing for Zhuoba, but he didn't know his purpose. Hong Chengchou's memorial was not mentioned. Could she be doubting his identity?

He Tengjiao shook his head and said, "No, I just knew from the eighth aunt who served her that she was alone in the room last night, frowning, as if there was something difficult to solve."

"I know this. Don't mention it in front of her. Also, I will summon her alone, but not now!" Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment and ordered.

"I understand." A stone in He Tengjiao's heart fell to the ground. He was afraid that he would do something bad just now. Now that he can explain it to others.

Today is the emperor sitting in the hall to investigate the case. This is a rare thing that has not been seen in many years. Not only did all officials arrive with illness, but the people outside the Dali Temple rushed to the scene after hearing the news, but were all blocked outside the Dali Temple by the City Defense Force and the Imperial Guard. They were not allowed to take a step forward.

Zhu Yinglong was the chief judge and sat in the main hall. The difference was that the Grand Master was replaced with a dragon chaise, and yellow silk was laid on the desk to show the difference. The Dali Temple Minister sat in the position of Master Xing Ming and filled out the interrogation record himself, while Master Xing Ming Ming was beneath him to polish ink for him.

"Puff!" The sound of this austere wood hitting the silk is different from that hitting the solid wood, but it is already like this, and it is too late to remove it, so I have to do this first.

"Take people to offend Li Yongzuo!"

In a moment, Li Yongzuo was wearing a purple-red prison uniform and was hand-tied and shackled by two strong yamen runners to the front of the hall.

"Li Yongzuo, do you know your crime?" Zhu Yinglong slapped the agglomeration again and asked Li Yongzuo, who was kneeling below in a deep voice.

Li Yongzuo looked up and saw Zhu Yinglong sitting on the desk clearly, and said in his mouth: "I don't know what crime I have committed. The emperor actually sent the Imperial Guard to take down Weichen's family. Even if I die, I will ask for an understanding!"

After Li Yongzuo was sent to prison, all the officials were too late to hide, let alone come to visit the prison. Therefore, Li Yongzuo had no idea what kind of basket he had bought, and he thought he had made them seamlessly, so he was naturally fearless.

"Li Yongzuo, I ask you, what did you send your subordinate Dai Xiaolou to do yesterday?"

"Dai Xiaolou is a subordinate of Wei, but he is not a member of the Marquis' Mansion. Apart from official affairs, Weimu has never sent him to do things for him!" Li Yongzuo had been in the officialdom for many years and had to throw his pawns and protect his cart when he knew the danger.

"What happened to you, why did the fifty-three soldiers suddenly disappear in your military camp yesterday?"

"I don't know. At that time, I have been put into prison by the emperor, so how do you know?" Li Yongzuo reacted very quickly.

"They are all your personal soldiers, don't you know?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a sneer.

"I don't know."

"Then do you know where they are now?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

Li Yongzuo replied that he didn't know that he was so arrogant that he couldn't stand the old ministers who had always been calm. Because the emperor was here, they did not dare to act rashly. The officials who were quite close to Li Yongzuo all looked ashamed. They were afraid that Li Yongzuo would buy out all the things they did in order to save his life in the end, and then they would be done. There were many people who secretly wiped their sweat.
