Chapter 259
"That's simple. Didn't we miss out that the deposed Empress Jiang didn't plot against her? She will be responsible for the murder. Let's find a way to make Jiang take action. It is best to recall her precious son Chuxiu and let Wang We will take advantage of this opportunity to end Minggong’s life at the banquet. After Minggong’s death, we will put the crime of regicide on the heads of Jiang’s mother and son, and tear them into pieces in front of the officials. , when the time comes, the world will be in your hands!" Yun Niang gritted her teeth fiercely.

"What? Cheng Rong was secretly played by the censor, saying that he was dissatisfied with the court?" Before the case at the Shuilong Shuren Palace, Ming Gong, who was frowning, put down the feverish memorial in his hand, and questioned the prime minister Lu Kai in front of him strangely.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Rong rebelled. This minister has been with him for many years, and I absolutely can't believe it. Maybe he is too upright and has offended many people, so he was slandered?" Lu Kaimo said ambiguously.

"Hmph, this Cheng Rong is also true. Now rumors are spreading in the court. His reputation is not good, and the widow has no face. According to the widow, you, Lu Kai, are the ones to interrogate him. If there is something serious, the widow will also You can find a way to preserve it!" Ming Gong stroked his beard and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Rong has submitted a memorial to beg for rest!" At this moment, the silent Xiao Ruzi handed in a new memorial.

Minggong opened it dumbfounded, and it turned out to be Cheng Rong's handwriting. He couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "This old slicker, once he is in danger, he will quickly retreat. Forget it, if he wants to resign and return to his hometown, he will do it." Well, lest you end up in your sixtieth year and get imprisoned."

"Your Majesty, more than half of the ministers in the court are still supporting Lord Cheng Rong. Isn't it too disrespectful to just let him go?" Lu Kai cupped his hands in embarrassment.

"Then unless he wrote a letter to reinstate himself, there are many talented people around me, so why should he still be blackmailed by him?" Ming Gong reprimanded Lu Kai in a stern voice.

"Your Majesty, here is another memorial from His Royal Highness King Lu, saying that he wants to go to the capital to pay his respects to His Majesty, his mother, and his concubine." Hand over a memorial.

Mingong took a closer look, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "This kid who is a beginner, finally got the hang of it, knowing that the widow has removed Cheng Rong's position as a senior doctor, and the important task of being a senior doctor has fallen into his hands. Jing, just as the widow thinks, once the doctor is in the hands of the royal family, the entire court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is entirely up to the widow alone!"

"The king is wise!" The flattering Lu Kai and Xiao Ruzi quickly knelt down and shouted long live three times.

Border Taiyuan, after the rebel army was wiped out, Deputy General An Tong got the news that Zhou Wu, Wang Zhi's confidant, had secretly framed the excavation and made a fraudulent contribution, and the memorials were all submitted to Ming Gong's case. After skinning and removing the flesh of Zhou Wu, on this day, he went into Qutu's tent in a sullen mood, feeling very depressed right now.

"An Tong, what's the matter? You have won a big battle, and you are not excited, but you are frowning. It's not bad, you know how to be reserved, you can be considered a grown-up!" Jue Tu looked at An Tong with a smile, and joked happily.

"My lord, we tried our best to serve the country loyally, but in the end, we were persecuted by villains, spreading rumors and slandering wantonly. What kind of world is this? Don't you know how to defend yourself, lord?" An Tong cried with a sad face.

"An Tong, where did you hear these bastard words? As long as we do things with a clear conscience, why are we afraid of gossip and backbiting? As the saying goes, sit upright, behave well, and don't be afraid of ghosts coming to your door. Zhou Wu and the others So what if you framed us?" Que Tu patted An Tong on the shoulder, comforting him with kind words.

"The imperial decree has arrived, General Thutu receives the decree!" Just at this time, a series of trumpets were lit outside the tent, and Zhou Jin, the special envoy sent by Minggong, majesticly led the Imperial Forest Army into the big tent, triumphantly intimidating Thutudao.

Without saying a word, Qu Tu knelt down with An Tong and other generals to receive the order. "Your Majesty's decree said that General Cha Bianguan falsely reported his military exploits and deceived the court. It is abominable. He hastily dismissed his official post and sent him to Hulao Pass to perform his crimes and meritorious deeds. Thank you!"

"What? What kind of imperial decree is this? My son has made great achievements in battle, but he ended up like this in the end, what is this?" An Tong and the first group of generals burst into anger and clamored.

"Everyone, don't get angry. After I accept the imperial decree, I'm making sense!" Jue Tu winked at An Tong and the others, and they had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow.

Turning around the big tent, the curtain opened, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, the slim Xinyue saw that the special envoy had left, she quickly took Kuu Tu's hands and invited him and An Tong to the back.

"Sister-in-law, what does your Majesty mean by this? You don't reward those who have meritorious service, and you still do everything possible to kill our young master?" An Tong, who was deeply wronged, asked with a bitter face.

"An Tong, don't worry, maybe this time, the master is not a disaster!" Xinyue smiled.
