Taihe Hall.
The main hall where the emperor and his ministers held discussions.
At this time, the entire court was in chaos, and the news of General Xiao's assassination last night spread like wildfire.
The court was furious, and many people wanted justice.
And Liang Jing also knew about this matter. She looked sad and didn't know how to deal with it.
He was really determined to make the two of them enemies.
If something happens at this critical juncture, the person most likely to arouse suspicion is naturally the general Shangguan Yun.
Liang Jing was sitting on the dragon chair, watching the courtiers below who kept shouting.
On the side, Lu Yun saw such a large formation for the first time and thought, it turns out that going to court is a kind of torture for the emperor.
No wonder so many emperors are willing to be a coward rather than go to court.
If he became the emperor, he would not want to go to court every day.
"Your Majesty! Last night, while I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly encountered an assassin. If it weren't for the fact that I was not too sleepy, I would have been killed on the spot."
"Your Majesty, please investigate closely!"
Xiao He knelt on the main hall and shouted with a rather indignant expression.
Some courtiers also stood up and shouted in unison: "I second my opinion!"
Yang Zhong, the left prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, came out and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not that simple."
"I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the general."
"I just told the general to take care of himself and let the hussar general be the leader of this expedition. As a result, he was assassinated."
"The general must be jealous and can't let go of this matter. He wants to take the credit."
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, then asked helplessly: "What evidence is there?"
"Zuo Xiangguo, please don't be careless about this matter, don't speculate casually, otherwise you will be wronging me, the great general of Zhou Dynasty."
"Besides, the general is also my father-in-law. I don't want this to happen."
Prime Minister Zuo Yang Zhong snorted coldly and said confidently, "Your Majesty, after General Xiao He subdued the assassin last night, he took out a token from his body."
"This token comes from the residence of General Shangguan."
"General Shangguan's servants, as well as some of his guards, will carry the tokens of his Shangguan family with them. This is a well-known fact."
"Really!" Liang Jing frowned, although she knew that there was something behind this matter that was not simple.
But...if there is really such evidence, it will be really difficult to reconcile.
Last night I just wanted the queen to have a proper talk with the father-in-law. Unexpectedly, before she had time to do so, this happened.
Liang Jing only felt that he was always one step behind and couldn't do anything in time.
Xiao He directly took out the evidence he obtained last night, "Your Majesty, this is the token. I will never dare to forge it in the slightest."
"So many people saw it at that time, and I didn't have time to do anything."
"My arm was also injured by this thief last night."
"..."
Liang Jing looked at Lu Yun next to him, "Go and help me get this token."
"yes."
Lu Yun stepped forward, took the token, and asked Liang Jing to look at it carefully.
Liang Jing held the token in his hand, rubbed it, and said helplessly: "General Xiao, we should not be too hasty in this matter."
"A thorough investigation is needed, but no inferences can be made. It's just a token, it can't prove anything."
As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Zuo Yang Zhong became furious and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, are you afraid of hurting the queen's heart, or do you not want to hurt the father-in-law's heart?"
"Does Your Majesty want to protect the general?"
"Your Majesty, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are clearly written, and this cannot be violated."
"What's more, General Xiao shocked the northern border and prevented the Xiongnu from invading. He was a great contributor to our great Zhou Dynasty. If you continue to protect him, I'm afraid it will break the hearts of all the soldiers."
"This is extremely detrimental to our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Liang Jing sat on the dragon chair, clenching his fists and feeling very angry.
What does Prime Minister Zuo mean? Are you threatening me?
Lu Yun dozed off while listening, thinking, these people really have nothing to do. If they say something so high-sounding, can they definitely do it?
It's nothing more than putting on a big hat and asking the emperor to think about it carefully.
Just when Liang Jing was in a dilemma, the right prime minister Wang An stood up and spat at the left prime minister.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you mean?"
"Are you forcing His Majesty?"
"Things haven't been clarified yet, so you just put a big hat on your head."
"What's going on? Can't we just ask the general to come over?"
After Liang Jing heard this, he had no choice but to agree, "General Xuan has an audience!"
As soon as these words came out, many people present were very curious. Isn't the general recuperating at home?
Is he in good health? Can we still come to the main hall and confront him face to face?
However, the matter has come to this, and they have no other choice but to wait and see the results.
After a while, Shangguan Yun arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Naturally, he also learned the news, but he didn't panic at all. He walked with a majestic attitude and held a box in his hand.
I don’t know, what is it?
Shangguan Yun walked up to the main hall, looked at the courtiers around him, and snorted coldly.
"Shangguanyun, I have met His Majesty!"
"General, please rise."
Liang Jing then said, "General, can you recover?"
Shangguan Yun patted his chest and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that your body has recovered and you can mount your horse to kill the enemy now."
At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Yang Zhong sneered, "General, you have really worked hard for the country, and I can't even give you a rest."
"What? General, are you afraid that General Xiao He will take your credit, so you killed him?"
Shangguan Yun's eyes widened angrily and he glared at Prime Minister Zuo fiercely, "Fart, Yang Zhong, be careful what you say and don't have such a bad mouth."
"This general doesn't disdain killing people or using such intrigues. You can go after whoever did it."
"What does Xiao He's encounter with an assassin have to do with me?"
"However, General Xiao, there is something that you should explain to me carefully!"
The two of them were at war with each other as soon as they met, and they started to confront each other in front of so many people.
Xiao He naturally had no fear and stared at the other party coldly, "General, you really love to joke."
"What do I need to explain to you?"
After saying that, Shangguan Yun took out the Gu worms that came out of his body and asked angrily: "Tell me, this general is so good, how come there is such a thing in my body?"
"It just so happens that at this time, the four southeastern provinces are rehabilitating themselves. This general is ill."
"Can't you take this opportunity to become the leader of the expedition?"
Xiao He was stunned, and he said loudly: "General, this is pure slander."
"Xiao will not harm you, let alone this Gu insect, which is unique to Miao country."
"How do I get it?"
