In fact, from the moment Yao Rui stood up, Yang Dong already had doubts in his heart.
There were so many things that the senior eunuchs kept silent about, so why did he, a young eunuch, dare to speak in public?
Knowing that he would offend Lin Chunqiu, he still dared to stand up. What grudge does he have with Lin Chunqiu?
So he asked the question, and Yao Rui began to answer it.
It turns out that Yao Rui is the queen of generals. His father Yao Xing was a military general and the deputy general of the guard at Yanyang Pass.
There are three brothers, Yao Rui, and he is the eldest, inheriting his father's mantle as a military commander. The second child, named Yao Qi, loved reading and later became an official in the court. The third sister was smart since she was a child and was favored by her father the most.
The Yao family was originally a harmonious and happy family, but something unexpected happened ten years ago!
Ten years ago, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty raided Yanyang Pass.
After three days of hard fighting, Yanyang Pass was broken and the people in the pass were massacred.
Lin Chunqiu, then Minister of Civil Affairs, was ordered by the late emperor to preside over the case.
After some investigation, Lin Chunqiu determined that Yao Xing, the deputy general of Yanyang Pass, had defected to the enemy, leading to the destruction of the pass and the death of people.
The late emperor was furious and wanted to execute Yao Xing. But Yao Xing can't be seen alive, and his body can't be seen dead. So he turned his anger on the three brothers and sisters.
Yao Rui and Yao Jia entered the palace as slaves and maids. The second child, Yao Qi, was protected by the chief assistant at the time and escaped disaster.
The case has since been closed. The Yanyangguan Massacre was considered a scandal and should not be discussed again.
"So you resent Lin Chunqiu because he believed that your father had surrendered to the enemy?"
Yang Dong looked into Yao Rui's eyes and asked.
"My father did not surrender to the enemy!"
Yao Rui looked determined, with a flash of pain in his eyes.
"After I learned about my father's death, I went to Yanyang Pass without stopping."
"That night, I found my father's body."
"I wanted to take a rest for the night, so I took my father home. But that night I met a gangster."
"The gangsters burned my father's body with a fire. All evidence was reduced to nothing."
Yang Dong's face darkened slightly,
Without evidence, it would be difficult to overturn the case.
Even with the support of the Empress, it is still difficult to reach the sky.
After all, there is no DNA testing in Dazhou.
"I suspect that Lin Chunqiu and the general Lei Qiang are in the same group."
"They teamed up and put all the blame on my father."
Yang Dong's eyes lit up slightly, "Do you have any evidence?"
Yao Rui shook his head, "Not yet, but Lei Qiang did not die. Instead, he was promoted to deputy commander of the Huwei Army."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong's face changed wildly.
"The West Factory side will be left to you."
After saying that, he rushed out of Qianji Building in a flash.
This news is so important that I must tell the Empress immediately.
…
Shangqing Palace,
The empress listened to Qingniao's story, with a slight smile on her beautiful face.
Especially when she heard the sentence "Eat the emperor's food, receive the emperor's salary, and be loyal to the emperor," the smile on her face was even more difficult to suppress.
Although this little Dongzi is a bit lustful, she is still very loyal to me. And he is so talented!
Besides, being lustful is not a bad thing. As long as he has a weakness, he can be used to my advantage.
Qingniao was also happy for the empress. She smiled lightly and said:
"Your Majesty, although this Yang Dong is a bit lustful, he is loyal enough!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you reward him with a few maids? In this way, he will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty. Besides..."
"enough!"
The empress suddenly raised her hand with a cold face, interrupting Qingniao's words.
"It's not your turn to teach me how to reward my subordinates."
Qingniao realized that he had made a mistake and immediately knelt on the ground and confessed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty made a mistake and please punish me."
At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has personally stewed ginseng and turtle soup for you and ordered your servant to deliver it."
"The Queen said that she would like to invite you to visit the Jinxiu Palace tonight. She has a surprise for you."
After hearing this, the empress' originally gloomy face instantly turned darker.
"Put down the soup and kneel down."
"I have something to do tonight, so I won't be accompanying the queen."
After Lin Man'er's people left, the empress snorted coldly:
"Come here, give me this soup..."
Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
"I have something important to report to Your Majesty, please get out of the way!"
"If you delay important matters, I will pick off your heads!"
The empress frowned slightly and said coldly:
"Let him in."
Yang Dong obeyed the order and immediately plunged his head into the Shangqing Palace.
But the next second, he saw the empress's pretty face covered with frost.
"Xiao Dongzi, you are getting more and more arrogant!"
"I dare to touch the eunuchs in the Qing Palace. Do you want to rebel?"
Yang Dong felt a thump in his heart and bowed his head, but his face was full of depression.
Did the empress take the wrong medicine?
I came here with good intentions to give you a message, but you attacked me as soon as you came up?
The key is that I didn't offend you either.
Oh, fickle woman!
But on the surface, he looked panicked and said:
"Your Majesty, calm down, I know I was wrong!"
"I was also anxious to report the news, so I spoke unscrupulously."
"Please, Your Majesty, please spare my life for the sake of my hard work and merit!"
The empress couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his timid appearance.
Then she realized that this behavior seemed inappropriate, so she coughed lightly and said with a cold face:
"That's all. Since you already know your fault, I will forgive you this time."
"But if there is a next time, I will definitely punish you severely."
"Tell me what makes you so anxious."
Yang Dong immediately straightened up and repeated what Yao Rui had told him before.
When the empress heard that Lei Qiang had been promoted to deputy commander of the Huwei Army, her calm and majestic face also changed!
She didn't even know about this!
Then, she immediately realized that this matter was not only important, but also urgent.
Outside the capital city of Great Zhou, two armies were stationed.
One is the Longwu Army, and the other is the Tiger Power Army.
Originally, the purpose of the previous emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to retain these two armies to defend the capital.
But no one expected that in Ji Ziyue's generation, the leader of the Longwu Army would become Lin Luo.
Who is Lin Luo? He is Lin Chunqiu's eldest son and the brother of the current queen.
Do you expect his Longwu Army to defend the capital? It would be nice not to rebel.
All along, the empress thought that the mighty tiger army in her hand could restrain each other with the mighty dragon army.
But she never dreamed that her last card would be manipulated by Lin Chunqiu.
"What a Lin Chunqiu, I underestimate you!"
The empress clenched her jade teeth, and her majestic face showed a rare look of anger.
Yang Dong stared at the angry expression of the empress, but he was completely stunned.
Ji Ziyue is a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city. Combined with the imperial aura in her body, it is even more difficult for people to watch her from a distance and not dare to play with her.
Even though he had a romantic relationship with the other party, he still didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts.
But once Ji Ziyue lost her imperial aura, Yang Dong still couldn't resist that beauty even though he had read many movies.
"Xiao Dongzi, what do you think this should be like?"
