Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 775 Farce
The rumors about Baosi and Diutu in Luoyang City became more and more serious, and they spread all over the city. Cheng Rong knew that those guys who spread the rumors secretly were all the followers sent by Concubine Min, Weihou, Ma Wumen, and Huagu, and they were provoking everywhere. The insults put everyone in the capital at risk.

"Prince Cheng, the enemy's trick is called attacking the mind first, and the purpose is to calm the Queen Mother's inner disturbance, so that she loses her longing and gives up on herself. This trick is really vicious!" An Tong felt very vicious about the prospect of Bao Si and Ju Tu. worries.

"An Tong, go back to the mansion, I have something to say." Cheng Rong looked around cautiously, and found that there were no spies or other surveillance, so he brought An Tong back to his mansion.

"King Zheng!" Under Cheng Rong's kind hospitality, An Tong had no choice but to lead his horse to the gate of Cheng's mansion, tie up the horse, and unexpectedly met Qu Tu in the face.

"An Tong, Brother Cheng invited us this time just to see the enemy's scenery." Ju Tu glanced at An Tong lightly, then supported An Tong's waist, and came to the study.

"Cu Tu, An Tong, since you two believe in me, Cheng Rong, then you don't have to be so worried, the time has come!" Cheng Rong raised his cup and smiled cryptically at An Tong and Qu Tu.

"It's not good, Luoyang Palace is on fire!" It was midnight at this time, and suddenly the night sky in Luoyang was filled with desperate roars.

"Brother Cheng, something really happened in Luoyang Palace, isn't it Si'er?" Although Qu Tu believed in Cheng Rong's resourcefulness, he was still in a cold sweat because of his concern for Bao Si.

"Ku Tu, those clowns are starting to turn things upside down, playing tricks!" Cheng Rong suddenly took the feather fan from the desk and slapped Kue Tu and An Tong.

In Luoyang Palace, the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, a very pungent sulfur smell covered the nerves of the palace residents.

In Jianjia Palace, Baosi's bright eyes lit up, and she suddenly stood up from the couch.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter, did you wake up from those harassing scoundrels?" Mingyue felt Baosi's tears, immediately put on a long gown, and ran to Baosi.

"Mingyue, it seems that something strange happened in the previous dynasty! Those ghost voices are really interesting!" Bao Si suddenly pursed her lips and smiled at Mingyue.

"Ah? Ma'am, why are you smiling? But this smile is overwhelming!" Mingyue let go of her heart in an instant.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Shuilong Shuren Palace is flooded!" Shui Jian was sleeping in the Peony Palace when he was suddenly awakened by Xiao Dezi's trance-like report.

"Xiao Dezi, why did the Shuilong Shuren Hall leak water?" Shui Jian was furious.

"Your Majesty, I dare not talk nonsense." Xiao Dezi covered his mouth on purpose.

"What the hell? Presumptuousness in front of me, come and drive the Shuilong Shuren Hall!" Shui Jian glared at Xiao Dezi, quickly put on the dragon robe, and sent an order to the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

When the emperor's Jianyu came to the scene of the water, the thick smoke in the Shuilong Shuren Hall had already subsided, and the shuddering guard general Lu Chao hurriedly knelt at Shuijian's feet and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I have lived for so many years. , I really haven’t seen such a strange thing, the Shuilong Shuren Hall smoked but did not catch fire, the little ones thought it was weird, and found a box from the beam of the house.”

"The casket? I find it strange. When King Wu conquered Zhou, he granted Duke Zhou the title of Duke of Zhou in Luoyang, so he built this Luoyang Palace. For 200 years, the ancestors have never returned. How could there be a casket?" Jian felt very strange and stroked his beard in thought.

"Your Majesty, this box?" Lu Chao looked at Shui Jian with a look of fear.

Shui Jian laughed loudly, walked to the front of the box, waved the saber in his hand, and with a whistling sound, he split the big lock of the box, the box opened instantly, and a burst of red light came out, making everyone very frightened.

"I have established the country for more than 200 years, am I still afraid of these evildoers?" Shui Jian kicked Xiao Dezi away, took out a silk book in the box, carefully read the ancient text on the silk book, and suddenly took a breath.

"Duke Zhou is the sage of my Great Zhou Dynasty. I didn't expect that more than 200 years ago, he would have predicted that women in this dynasty would be a disaster!" Shui Jian murmured.

"Your Majesty, what did the ancestors tell the Emperor?" Concubine Min Gui couldn't wait, wearing a smoked mink cloak, and ran to Shui Jian.

"On Zhou Gong's day, Bao Si died of Zhou!" Shui Jian sighed.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that the Duke of Zhou predicted the rumors that have spread in this world more than 200 years ago. It is God's will. Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Ping is in a messy palace. I ask the Emperor to depose the Empress Dowager Ping and protect me!" Lu Chaozhong said. He knelt down on the ground of the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

"Lu Chao, don't spread this matter out of the palace. I will discuss it tomorrow." Shui Jian looked at Lu Chao suspiciously, and ordered Lu Chao sharply.

At Chenshi the next day, the officials met the emperor in the Shuilong Shuren Hall. Shui Jian was sleepy all day long, so he waved his hands at the officials and said: "My dear friends, there are rumors in the court that the Empress Dowager Ping has lost her morality, and I ask you to depose the title of Empress Dowager. What do you think?"

"Your majesty, I dare not hide the truth from your majesty. The day before yesterday, when I was sorting out the daily records of the previous dynasty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I discovered a big secret. The Empress Dowager Ping framed the Empress in the past, and the empress Dowager Ping was the one who killed the first emperor!" Ma Wumen Suddenly holding the imperial wat, he knelt down in front of Shuijian's dragon chair and yelled out his disbelief.

"The empress dowager actually murdered the king? No wonder the late emperor wanted to deal with King Zheng. It turns out that Qu Tu and the queen mother were actually killing the king and usurping the throne!" Marquis Wei winked, and the officials present kept whispering and cursing.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Ma Wumen triumphantly handed over the memorial, Shui Jian flipped through it angrily, seeing that Baosi's crimes were heinous and well-founded, he was immediately furious.

"Ma Wumen, as expected by King Cheng, you actually arranged a poisonous plan to slander the queen mother in advance. If the rumors in the capital were not so rampant, I might not have believed the lies of you and Weihou Xirong at all!" Shui Jian pointed out. There is no way to stop the horse, and scolded sharply.

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged!" Ma Wumen was stunned and knelt on the ground shaking.

"Lord Ma, don't worry about it anymore. If there is really a warning from God, there will be no box in the Hall of Shuilong Shuren. You have colluded with Xirong to make troubles, trying to deceive the world and drive the queen mother to a desperate situation, but you ignored Xirong. Although the masters are skilled in martial arts, they don't understand the etiquette system of my Great Zhou. The ancestors of the Great Zhou are different from the customs of Xirong. The boxes are buried deep in the loess and cannot be placed on the beams of the house. Otherwise, they will be disrespectful to Xiqi. Land is the most expensive thing for the Great Zhou!" Cheng Rong talked and laughed at Ma Wumen calmly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the reason is for King Cheng?" Ma Wumen was surprised and said like a green onion.

"Ma Wumen, Xirong masters can break into the Forbidden Palace, but they are also confused. They placed a box in the Shuilong Shuren Hall, and when the fire was ignited, they let the beam escape. This is not intentionally leaving a loophole! Originally I don't believe in Cheng Aiqing either, you guys will collude and play tricks to deceive the world, now that I see it with my own eyes, do you still dare to make a mistake?" Shui Jian angrily scolded Ma Wumen.

"Report to the emperor, the master of Xirong has been caught!" At this time, Lu Chao, the guard, led the imperial guards, and escorted the master of Xirong in fleece to kneel in front of Shui Jian.

"Cheng Rong, you deliberately asked the Imperial Guards to sprinkle a layer of flour on the ground. You are really clever. No matter how skilled the assassin is, the flour will still leave footprints when it flies up." Shui Jian immediately stroked his beard and laughed.

"Your Majesty, Ma Wumen and Marquis Wei colluded with Xi Rong and set up a trap in the Shuilong Shuren Hall, which shows that the rumors and rumors were spread by collusion with Xi Rong. Please the Emperor rehabilitate the Empress Dowager!" At this time, Jug Tu and An Tong Mingchao They had already arrived at Shuilong Shuren Hall, and they all knelt at Shuijian's feet.

"Dear dears, I really didn't expect that the important ministers of my Great Zhou would use this kind of heresy, I am deeply moved!" Shui Jian said with a comfortable smile to the ministers.

Jianjia Palace, the bamboo leaves are fluttering, staring at the cool and fragrant palace garden, Bao Si's frown suddenly relaxed.

"Your Majesty, I wish you congratulations from this servant. I heard that the Emperor, under the guidance of Mr. Cheng, has caught those traitors who pretend to be gods and ghosts and spread rumors in the Palace of Shuilong Shuren!" before.

"Mingyue, Peony Palace won't let us off easily, as long as Concubine Min Gui doesn't fall, our early days will be gone!" Bao Si suddenly frowned again.

"Your Majesty, what are you spreading rumors? I think Cheng Rong is playing tricks. Both Ma Wumen and Marquis Wei are favorites of the Emperor. They know that the Empress Dowager is interfering in political affairs, so they think about the Emperor, so they made the Duke of Zhou's prophecy. " Concubine Min Gui of Peony Palace, wearing the nobile hairpin from the Western Regions and beautiful face, said in a voice while giving Shui Jian a massage.

"Ai Qing, the Empress Dowager has always been kind to me, so it's too despicable for Ma Wumen to make trouble like this?" Shui Jian said angrily.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to apologize to the Queen Mother?"
