From eunuch to emperor

The Son of Heaven cleared the way with a guard of honor, and the Empress rode a green horse in a phoenix robe, accompanied by Yingfeng and her personal guards.

The empress has been riding a horse outside the palace to show the world to use force.

When the Empress entered the arena, the onlookers bowed their heads in salute. The noisy market suddenly fell silent, and all civil and military officials stood up to greet her.

The empress rode into the square, Yingfeng helped her off the horse, and then sat on the phoenix chair at the front.

The three princesses of Di Yuwei got up, Jing Tianlie also got up respectfully, and the ministers on both sides bowed together: "I will pay my respects to the Holy Majesty, the Majesty will live forever."

The empress glanced at the ministers, nodded slightly and said, "Be flat."

All the ministers sat down.

The Empress glanced at Jing Tianlie and Long Chen, and then at Emperor Luoxi and the other three.

Suddenly, the empress raised her head slightly, and looked at the Banyue Tower.

Upstairs, Ji Ba, the president of Tianxiahui, quickly looked away and said in a low voice, "I actually found it."

Just now, Ji Ba wanted to see the empress's cultivation level clearly. He also heard that the empress was injured in the battle with Long Ye, but he felt that the empress's cultivation base had not decreased at all.

Just trying to spy on it, the empress discovered it.

Hong Qi couldn't help asking: "President, the Empress's cultivation level..."

Ji Ba pondered for a moment, then said, "Unfathomable."

Hong Qi was secretly startled, and couldn't help looking at the empress in the field.

The empress was dressed in a phoenix robe, with a majestic and luxurious demeanor, and her voice was not loud, but it could spread throughout the audience: "My dear friends, I'm gathering here today, I think you all know why."

"The case of General Shuihan is complicated and confusing. The four princesses and Long Cheng'en said that General Shuihan was injured and died in the war, but the general and the Ministry of War think there is something else hidden."

"To set the record straight, I am here today to openly interrogate the case of General Shui Han. All the lovers and common people are witnesses."

"Bai Yushi, you are the presiding judge at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I'll let you speak."

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Bai Anning, stood up, bowed to the empress, and said, "I obey the order."

After paying homage to the empress, Bai Anning bowed to the ministers and common people again.

"In the battle of Linjiang City, General Shuihan died in battle. This is my great Zhou's loss."

"According to the fourth princess and Master Long, General Shui Han was injured by Shangguan Wei during the battle, and later died of his serious injuries, loyal to his country."

"According to the General and the Ministry of War, the cause of General Shuihan's death is strange, and we request a retrial."

"Just yesterday, the general sent someone to bring the body of General Shuihan from Linjiang City back to the capital, and opened the coffin for an autopsy at the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Speaking of this, the ministers who didn't know in the court were very surprised, they didn't expect Jing Tianlie to dig Shui Han's grave.

"The dead are buried in the ground, how can they dig a grave?"

"This is also to restore General Shuihan's innocence."

"The general is really... courageous in doing things."

The surrounding people were also very surprised. They had a more serious concept of burying the dead in peace, and they were quite critical of Jing Tianlie's behavior of digging the grave.

"Isn't Jing Tianlie afraid of God's punishment for doing this?"

"What's the difference between digging someone's grave and killing someone?"

"Why didn't General Shuihan's family come out to object?"

"Shuihan is an orphan who grew up in the army."

Hearing the discussions of the ministers and the common people, Jing Tianlie frowned slightly. Bai Qiulian saw Jing Tianlie's uneasy expression, and immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, the general did this to give an explanation to General Shuihan, and find out who killed Shuihan. The general's murderer didn't dig the grave on purpose."

"General Shui Han knows, and I will thank the general."

When Bai Qiulian came out to explain, it didn't silence the officials and common people, but aroused even bigger discussions, especially the common people, they all started to turn the topic to Bai Qiulian and Jing Tianlie's adulterous affair, talking with gusto.

Long Chen listened quietly, and thought in his heart: So the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate belongs to the empress.

Just now, Bai Anning seemed to be impartial in talking about the case, but in fact he told about Jing Tianlie's grave digging, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers and the common people.

Seeing that everyone's attention was lost, Bai Anning hurriedly said loudly: "The autopsy results are out, please take a look!"

As he spoke, Bai Anning took out a volume of documents from his sleeve and presented it to the Empress.

Yingfeng took it and passed it on to the Empress.

Opening the autopsy documents, the Empress' expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look at Di Luoxi and Long Chen.

Seeing the Empress's unkind expression, Jing Tianlie and Bai Qiulian were overjoyed, they thought the matter had been exposed.

In Jing Tianlie's heart, apart from joy, there was also a trace of surprise. He thought it was the Empress who instructed Luo Xi to eradicate Shuihan, but now it seems that this is not what the Empress meant.

But if it wasn't for the empress's instruction, why did Emperor Luoxi target Shuihan?

Could it be that Emperor Luoxi himself wants to target the General's Mansion?

A few thoughts flashed across Jing Tianlie's mind.

Bai Qiulian got up impatiently, and said: "Your Majesty, please publish the autopsy documents from the Metropolitan Procuratorate so that everyone can know how General Shuihan died."

The empress held the document in her hand, and her expression was a little hesitant. Hu Chengfu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, knew the result last night. He glanced at Jing Tianlie, then got up and said: "Please make an announcement, Your Majesty."

Both the ministers and the people saw that there was a problem, and they all waited for the empress to announce it.

Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan turned their heads to look at Di Luoxi. They thought something serious happened and they were very anxious.

Usually they had conflicts, and had disputes because of Long Chen, but in the end they were still a family.

If Di Luoxi got into a catastrophe, it would be the royal family that would be damaged.

Di Luoxi got up and said: "I object, I request the end of the public trial."

Long Chen also stood up, and said: "This case is of great importance, I request a closed-door interrogation."

The two people opposed together, which aroused the suspicion of officials and people even more.

Everyone thinks there is a ghost in it.

Upstairs in Banyue, Ji Ba took out his hand from Meiji's arms, smelled the body fragrance on his hand, and said with a smile: "Long Chengen and the fourth princess have good acting skills, they are playing hard to get."

Ji Ba likes to use people to warm his hands in winter, but he doesn't like to warm himself by a fire.

He raised several beauties with big breasts, and in winter he put his hands in them and called them Teji.

Hong Qi asked, "Are they pretending?"

Ji Ba smiled slightly: "Be careful when you do business with Long Chengen."

Hong Qi laughed a few times in embarrassment, which meant that Hong Qi was not smart enough, so he was carefully tricked by Long Chen.

Di Luoxi and Long Chen objected at the same time, Bai Qiulian was ecstatic in his heart, and said loudly: "Fourth princess, if you object like this, is it possible that the death of General Shuihan is related to you? Or is it clear that you killed General Shuihan?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar!

The discussion among officials and common people became more intense, they started talking about the scandal between Di Luoxi and Long Chen.

Long Chen said loudly: "I am for the court, not for myself."

Bai Qiulian sneered: "It's rare to see such a loyal eunuch for the court."

Hu Chengfu said: "Give General Shuihan a clear explanation for the sake of the court."

Bai Qiulian echoed: "Yes, General Shuihan was killed by thieves, this is the truth, please announce it!"

Bai Qiulian had already announced the result, and while everyone was shocked, they turned their attention to the Empress.

The empress held the autopsy document in her hand, her expression was solemn, and she sighed after a long time: "Announce it!"
