Jing Tianlie secretly mobilized the martial energy in his body, and under the pressure of the Martial Emperor's peak, the generals next to him trembled unconsciously, and the civil servants even retreated far away.
But Long Chen withstood the pressure, his face remained as usual, and he bowed according to etiquette.
Jing Tianlie was surprised: he was able to withstand the general's pressure without any fear in his eyes.
He originally thought that Long Chen was just an eunuch who knew how to use tricks and hated empresses and princesses. He didn't expect that Long Chen was so courageous and his cultivation had reached the peak of a king.
"Are you Long Chengen?"
Jing Tianlie's face was slightly angry and his tone was gloomy.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I am Long Cheng'en, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the General Manager of the Harem."
Jing Tianlie didn't need to be addressed as an honorific, but Long Chen used the word "Official".
Others were afraid of Jing Tianlie, how could he, Long Chen, be afraid.
Back then, the Long Family Army and the Red Flame Army fought, and Jing Tianlie was beaten until he vomited blood.
In Long Chen's eyes, the domineering general in front of him was just a defeated general.
The civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China were all surprised. They did not expect that Long Chen would dare to call himself "my official" in front of Jing Tianlie.
Bai Qiulian, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was waiting to see the joke, was also surprised. Long Chen attacked Bai Qiulian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Bai Qiulian couldn't do anything to Long Chen, so he wanted to use the hands of an adulterer to deal with Long Chen.
Unexpectedly, Long Chen was also afraid of Jing Tianlie, and Bai Qiulian was greatly disappointed.
Jing Tianlie originally wanted to give Long Chen a blow, but he didn't expect that Long Chen didn't buy it, and instead made Jing Tianlie a little embarrassed.
The ministers in the court all had the same inner thoughts at this moment: This dead eunuch has courage!
Jing Tianlie snorted coldly, turned around and saluted the three princesses: "I have met three princesses."
Di Yu raised his hand slightly and nodded.
Di Xingwan's face moved, and he raised his head slightly as a return gift.
Di Luoxi raised her hand coldly, that's all.
Jing Tianlie stood at the head of the generals, that is, at the front of the general train, and Di Luoxi stood at the second place.
Just when everyone thought they could wait for the empress to go to court, a fat man walked in from the door, wearing court clothes. It was Jing Heng.
Jing Heng entered the court wearing court clothes, which surprised everyone.
He was dismissed from office by the empress, and he was already white, but now he entered the hall swaggeringly wearing the court uniform of the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What does this mean?
The ministers in the DPRK each had their own guesses, but no one said anything.
When Di Luoxi saw Jing Heng coming in wearing court clothes, she was so angry that she was about to curse. Long Chen quickly winked and asked her to hold it back.
Di Luoxi gritted her teeth and gasped, trying hard not to look at Jing Heng.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan also looked ugly and felt angry.
Jing Tianlie stood there as if nothing had happened.
Jing Heng came in and greeted the ministers around him.
"Master Liu, Master Li, Master Bai..."
The other ministers were at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the situation, so they had to smile and return the favor without even saying a word.
At this time, the empress came out of the inner court and sat on the phoenix chair, with Yingfeng standing next to her.
"Go to court!"
Yingfeng shouted.
The ministers in the court bowed one after another and said, "Greetings to the Holy One."
The empress glanced at the ministers in the hall, looking from Jing Tianlie to Long Chen, and finally to... Jing Heng.
The empress' eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn't seen Jing Heng.
"Get flat."
All the ministers stood at attention.
The empress said: "The general guarded the Jade Buddha Pass and repelled the Xixia invasion several times. He has made great contributions."
"When I return to court today, I will give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred thousand taels of silver as a reward."
Yingfeng turned around to say hello, and two palace maids came out carrying the box and placed it in the court hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jing Tianlie just bowed his hands.
The ministers in the DPRK congratulated each other one after another, but Jing Tianlie only laughed dryly.
Obviously, what Jing Tianlie wants is not money.
"Send the reward to the General's Mansion."
The empress smiled, and Yingfeng immediately arranged to move the box out of the court and send it to the general's mansion.
After the move was completed, the empress said: "Okay, let's start the court discussion. Is there anything you want to start?"
The minister of the court stood silent, his eyes only wandering on Jing Tianlie and Long Chen.
Bai Qiulian, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, glanced at Long Chen and then at Jing Tianlie, then walked out and said: "Your Majesty, there is progress in the case of the murder of General Shui Han."
Speaking of Shui Han's case, there was a commotion among the ministers.
The empress asked: "How is the interrogation going?"
Bai Qiulian bowed and said, "I interrogated Long Chengen and found that his confession did not match the preface and the follower, and he was suspected of committing a major crime."
Di Luoxi raised her eyebrows, walked out and scolded: "Bai Qiulian, what is an interrogation and what is a confession? Be careful what you say!"
Long Chen only cooperated with the inquiry, but Bai Qiulian said it was for interrogation and confession. This was obviously treating Long Chen as a prisoner, and in front of the empress and all civil and military officials. This was too much.
Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also advised: "Shang Shu Bai, don't blame him randomly."
Long Chen came out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, the bitch Bai Qiulian talks nonsense and is crazy. There are many rumors outside, and what he does is offensive to morals. I think that this bitch standing in the court is harmful to the morals. Please Beat him with a stick."
The battle has begun, and Long Chen has no reason to retreat.
If Bai Qiulian dares to stand up and provoke, Long Chen will beat him back severely.
The ministers in the court were very surprised. They all knew that Bai Qiulian was Jingtian Lie's pawn. Long Chen actually called Bai Qiulian a bitch in public and dared to mention the adultery between Bai Qiulian and Jingtian Lie. This was a direct confrontation with Jingtian Lie. ! Courageous enough!
It turned out that many ministers in the court looked down on Long Chen and thought he was the face of the fourth princess.
Now that I see how strong Long Chen is, I feel a little admired in my heart.
Bai Qiulian was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed: "Damn eunuch, who are you calling crazy! What an immoral thing!"
Long Chen sneered: "Old bitch, I said you were crazy and immoral!"
The two ministers were scolding each other. Di Luoxi wanted to help Long Chen, but Di Xingwan secretly stepped on Di Luoxi and signaled her not to interfere.
"Well, they are all ministers of the court, six ministers, and they are scolding each other in the court hall. How unbecoming it is!"
"The matter has not yet been decided, Shangshu Bai cannot blame him randomly."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the chief judge, let Yushi Bai do the talking."
The empress seemed fair and unbiased on both sides, but in fact she was partial to Long Chen.
Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out and paid homage: "Your Majesty, I have inquired about the Fourth Princess, Long Shangshu, General Zhang and others, and also sent a letter to General Li Xiannan. Judging from their accounts, General Shui Han The cause of death is indeed doubtful.”
The ministers in the DPRK were slightly disturbed and began to talk in low voices.
Jing Heng, who was standing at the end of the queue, began to sweat on his back. He was worried that Shui Han's death was related to collaboration with the enemy.
These days, Jing Tianlie asked about Shui Han, but Jing Heng only said that he didn't know and it had nothing to do with him.
Jing Tianlie also felt that it shouldn't matter. Although his son was ineffective, he wouldn't cause a big problem.
At this time, Jing Tianlie came out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, we are bloody battlefields. We don't seek glory and wealth, we only seek justice."
"General Shui Han has served the country for more than ten years. If he is really killed by an traitor, he must give her an explanation and let her rest in peace!"
Hu Chengfu, the Minister of Punishment, Wang He, the Minister of Rites, Xu Zhong, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and other ministers, stood up and worshiped: "I think what the general said is true, please ask the Holy One to investigate the case thoroughly and return the cold water to the cold water." The general is innocent."
The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War were all members of Jingtian Lie, as was the Ministry of Husbandry in the past.
Of the six departments in the imperial court, Jing Tianlie's influence has penetrated into four. No wonder this person is arrogant and domineering.
However, Long Chen couldn't understand why the empress with such a high level of cultivation was restrained by Jing Tianlie?
