Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 69 Playing a Card
Jue Tu led An Tong on a steed and galloped across the vast land until the sun was setting. The two got off the horse and slept in the luxuriant grass.

"Young master, An Tong just can't think about it. What's so good about that reckless prince at the beginning of his cultivation? Not only is he arrogant and unreasonable, he thinks very highly of himself, and he dares to harm our Baosi girl. Even An Tong hates him so much that he can't wait to beat him up." , this kind of royal family, even if it is a dragon, it is still a pustule! The young master opposes the king's abolition of the prince, and he caused a commotion, is it worth it?" An Tong snorted, biting the dog's tail grass, and began to chatter complained.

"Stupid, what do you know?" Jug Tu jokingly brushed the back of An Tong's head hard, and said solemnly: "I'm just worried that the king is too impatient and there will be troubles in the court."

"Troublemaker? My lord, why are you thinking so leniently? The court is not ours. You see, I don't know who I offended, and I slandered and spread rumors behind you, ruining my lord's reputation, but The king is still so excited, what about the court? It’s still so loose, what are you trying to achieve by doing this?” An Tong stuck out his tongue angrily.

"Idiot! Does this imperial court belong to our family? However, this country belongs to the people of the world, not just the king, this is the home where the people live and live, including our family, An Tong, do you think I am confused, my lord? I'm just worried that the king and his relatives are too eager for quick success and quick success, and some dignitaries are pushed into a hurry, and there will be troubles at that time, especially, the hasty abolition of the prince will easily cause chaos in the court, An Tong, look , Now in the harem, how many people are secretly coveting the crown prince's throne! So the country is still in chaos? How can the king have time to reform the country?" Que Tu said worriedly.

"My lord, I'm afraid the king did this for another purpose, maybe it's just to praise Miss Si." An Tong said with a smile.

When Jue Tu thought of Bao Si's melon-seeded face like clear water, just like the stars appearing and disappearing in the blue sky, he couldn't help becoming confused. The breeze blew by, making Jue Tu tremble all over.

In Chaoyang Palace, the Jingyang bell of the early court rang loudly, and all civil and military officials held up the imperial wat and lined up under the jade steps, waiting for Zhou Tianzi Minggong to watch the court.

"Your Majesty is here!" With the cry of the former imperial eunuch Xiao Dezi, the net whip sounded, and Ming Gong, who was dressed in a nine-gun dragon robe with a dignified expression, stepped onto the throne surrounded by court ladies.

Privy envoy Que Tu and doctor Cheng Rong were whispering under the jade steps. "Doctor Cheng, the atmosphere doesn't seem right today. Your Majesty's expression is so tense. Could it be that something serious has happened?" Que Tu asked Cheng Rong strangely.

"Oh, Mr. Jutu, the court is going to change today, just watch it." Cheng Rong smiled mysteriously, then closed his mouth without saying anything.

"Ju Tu, recently I heard that your reputation in the capital is terribly bad, and everyone in Beijing is saying that you have misbehaved. Is this true?" Ming Gong asked with a smile, looking down at Ju Tu.

"Well, my Majesty, if I want to make an argument, can you trust me? Anyway, I am fair and don't usually flatter others. If someone is behind the scenes and slanders, I can't do anything about it." Jue Tu's expression was leisurely. He answered with hands clapped.

"Hahaha, Qutu, you can really do it. This time, thanks to someone who can enforce the law fairly and be honest, you can save yourself from danger. You can thank the widow this time, but next time, don't take chances anymore. !” Ming Gong smiled happily.

"My lord, my minister Cheng Rong has secretly investigated the case of Young Master Die Tu according to the order of the King. It is true that someone is secretly spreading rumors and hurting people behind his back. Young Master Die Tu is an upright person, not a lustful maniac. After repeated investigations, I found that these rumors came from the palace, and after unremitting efforts, I have just caught several people who slandered, please look into it!" Cheng Rong knelt down and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, what Dr. Cheng Rong said is true. According to His Majesty's instructions, I conducted an investigation at the same time and found that more than [-] censors jointly participated in the memorial to Lord Jutu. It was ordered by someone. I found out that this mastermind behind the scenes So, it turned out to be the subordinate of General Wang Zhi, Doctor Zhou Rong!" The senior doctor Lu Kai also reported to Ming Gong solemnly.

"Come on! Bring the guy who spreads rumors in the harem to the widow!" Mingong was furious, and the imperial guards agreed in unison, and quickly escorted several trembling little eunuchs to His Highness with shouts and reprimands.

"Which palace is this slave, so bold?" Mingong Longyan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have been wronged! No one instructed you!" The young eunuchs cried out in unison.

"Bastard! How dare you deny it in public? Someone, let these slaves be imprisoned and tortured! We must investigate and find out!" Ming Gong immediately stood up and reprimanded loudly.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger!" Seeing that the emperor was furious, the ministers hurriedly fell to the ground to plead. "Okay, bring the man named Zhou Rong under General Wang Zhi to the widow! The widow wants to see who is so bold as to personally attack an important court official. Isn't this a scapegoat for General Wang in person?"

Ming Gong's words frightened the general Wang Zhi who was standing in the first class on the spot, his mouth was speechless, his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, this minister is really a capital crime!"

Seeing that Wang Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, Ming Gong couldn't help being amused, and quickly persuaded him with a pleasant face: "What's wrong with General Wang? You are a relative of the emperor, how can the widow suspect you? It must be Zhou Rong The dog is relying on people's power to frame Zhongliang, and even the general will take the blame for him, really damn it!"

As soon as Wang Zhi saw that Ming Gong softened his face, he was terrified. He quickly turned his head like a green onion and said: "Your Majesty, even if the rumor that Young Master Diutu was harmed by rumors has nothing to do with this minister, I am still very ashamed and blame my discipline." If you are not strict, you will suffer this disaster, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this tomorrow, everyone don't need to panic, let's leave the court." Ming Gong smiled slightly, looked at Cheng Rong and said.

For a while, the officials asked An to leave, and Ming Gong happily rolled back his sleeves and returned to the harem triumphantly.

"Doctor Cheng Rong, what did your majesty sing today? Was it a surprise?" Qu Tuzhang Er was puzzled, looking at Cheng Rong and asked.

"Hahaha, young master, you don't need to ask, your majesty is really generous." Cheng Rong covered his mouth and smiled.

Minggong was in high spirits for a while, and let Xinyue follow along with other little maids, and went to Jianjia Palace in a mighty way.

"Si'er, Si'er, no one dares to object to the widow's decision, so just wait, within three days, the widow will let you watch a good show!"
