My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 218

[Chapter 217 The sudden entry into the palace (third update)]

Emperor An had a headache and could only ask Zhu Tong for help.

“Zhu Aiqing, what do you have in mind?”

Zhu Tong stood up, but before he could speak, a palace guard ran in.

“Your Majesty, General Jinghong is asking for an audience outside the palace!”

“General Jinghong is already here? That’s great! You can just go directly into the palace to go to court. Why do you ask for an audience?”

Jinghong Cavalry is the most proud army of Emperor An. Liu Jinghong came to Jingzhou to participate in the martial arts test, which made him even more relieved.

However, Liu Jinghong always went directly to court when he came to Beijing, and it was rare for him to ask for an audience like today.

“Your Majesty… General Jinghong didn’t come by himself.”

“Not by himself?”

Emperor An raised his eyebrows, wondering if she wanted to bring the Jinghong cavalry into the palace with her?

This is absolutely impossible.

These personal guards in the palace combined are no match for the Jinghong Cavalry. No matter how much he trusts Liu Jinghong, he will never allow the cavalry to enter the palace. This is the rule.

“Yes, Your Majesty, General Jinghong also brought…”

“What did you bring?”

Emperor An was very dissatisfied with the hesitation of his personal guards.

“Bringing fifteen corpses!”

“Wow~”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The one who was most touched was King Xiang Su Mowu, because he knew that the fifteen people Su Xinping sent out last night…

Emperor An stood up and paced back and forth in the Jinluan Hall.

Jinghong’s cavalry could not enter the palace, not even fifteen corpses. After thinking about it, he also knew that Liu Jinghong would not be so rash and bring some corpses to see him.

“Follow me to take a look outside the palace gate!”

So he waved his hand and went out first.

…

Outside the palace gate, fifteen corpses were lying in a row.

Except for the first one who was stabbed to death by Liu Jinghong, all of these people committed suicide, so the scene was not too bloody.

But this was after all, outside the palace, and the people who usually came and went were well-dressed ministers, so this scene still made many people frown.

They have heard of people entering the palace to offer gifts, but they have never heard of people offering corpses!

Up in posture!

Emperor An frowned slightly, looked at Liu Jinghong and said, “General Jinghong, who are these?”

“Your Majesty, fifteen assassins!”

“Assassins?”

There was another noise in the crowd, as if no one could have imagined that under the emperor’s rule, Why did so many killers suddenly appear below my feet?

Just when An Di was about to open his mouth to ask again, he suddenly thought that since Liu Jinghong dared to bring the body here, things would definitely not be simple.

So he waved his hand: “Follow me back to the palace to discuss it later!”

Returning to the court, Emperor An immediately asked: “General Jinghong, tell me what’s going on!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Liu Jinghong strode. Walking in front of the ministers, he raised his head and said, “These killers wanted to kill my brother yesterday, so they were killed by me! And I came to the palace today just to let His Majesty administer justice!”

When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.

Liu Jinghong’s younger brother is Jing Zhe, which is already an open secret in the court. After all, the memory of Jing Wenmao being demoted to Pengzhou is still fresh in the memory of these veterans.

Jing Zhe has just been in the limelight. Who is so bold as to kill him? And Liu Jinghong said that he would seek justice from Emperor An. Is it possible that the murderer is in the court?

Thinking of this possibility, the ministers were even more shocked.

Today’s morning meeting is expected to be open very late, but it should be particularly lively!

Bai Qingyuan turned his head and glanced at Su Mowu, only to see Su Mowu lowering his head and not looking at him.

Bai Qingyuan was immediately shocked: Could it be that he was involved in this matter?

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Qingyuan was a little flustered and even more heartbroken.

Alas, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved!

You clearly told me not to be his enemy again, why didn’t you listen?

I really don’t know if my choice is right or wrong!

An Di’s brows furrowed completely: “What kind of justice are you seeking? Have you found out who the murderer is? By the way, where is Jing Zhe, is he okay?”

Liu Jinghong shook his head, “Zhe’er is fine, but if he wasn’t at that time If I show up, that won’t be the case! As for the murderer behind the scenes, I haven’t found out. These killers were well-trained and all committed suicide, and the last clue was lost.”

After saying this, she glanced at the ministers in the palace. , his eyes lingered on Su Moyan and Su Mowu for a while longer.

“But I heard that last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet in the East Palace, and Prince Jin was the host and invited Zhe’er to have a drink! Zhe’er met the killer as soon as he left the East Palace!”

As soon as these words came out, all eyes turned to Su Moyan. .

“Prince, is this really true?”

“Father, you are wronged!”

Su Moyan fell to his knees.

“Father, I did have a banquet with Mr. Jing in the East Palace last night. I tried my best to invite him to stay in the East Palace. However, Mr. Jing insisted on leaving and refused to send someone to see him off. As for the attack on Mr. Jing, I I really don’t know!”

He kowtowed to the ground, looking very aggrieved.

“Where’s Su Xinping?”

An Di knew Su Moyan’s character very well, and Jing Zhe had no enmity or enmity with him. He had no motive, but Su Xinping was different.

“Father, it can’t be Xinping!”

Su Moyan raised his head: “Yesterday, it was my son’s suggestion that the two of them have a drink and have a good chat to settle their differences! The two of them had a great conversation, and Xinping drank too much for it. , I’m not even awake yet!”

An Di glanced at Su Moyan and wondered when you would be more enlightened. He was afraid that he would have to help count the money if he was sold!

“Your Majesty, there is no evidence for this matter, so please don’t publicize it!”

At this time, Zhu Tong, who had been silent, stood up.

“Although Jing Zhe was assassinated after leaving the East Palace, it seems more like someone deliberately framed him. If His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to take action, why would he add suspicion to himself?”

Emperor An nodded and motioned for him to continue.

“As for the others, I dare not say anything. But now the three princes of Southern Qi are still in Jingzhou, and Jing Zhe has just won the first place in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition. If this matter is publicized, what will Nan Qi think? What will the people think? Your Majesty , we must not chill people’s hearts!”

After being reminded by Zhu Tong, other ministers began to talk about it. If the person who had the most motive to kill Jing Zhe must be Qi Junguang, who was defeated by Jing Zhe three times in a row at the poetry meeting.

However, as Zhu Tong said, if there is no evidence, Jing Zhe can only suffer a loss.

After hearing what Zhu Tong said, An Di suddenly had an idea.

These killers can choose to commit suicide. Presumably the mastermind behind them is more hidden and difficult to find.

Why not take this opportunity to arrange Jing Zhe’s official position?

However, he couldn’t bring it up.

“Zhu Aiqing, do you have any good suggestions?”

“Returning to your majesty, the minister’s suggestion is to give Jing Zhe an official position as soon as possible to appease people’s hearts. It can also be regarded as a reward for the honor he earned for Anguo at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival!”

It seems to be !

Being able to see through Emperor An’s thoughts, Zhu Tong lowered his eyebrows and spoke softly.

But Emperor An was already elated:

Those who know me can only wish you love!
