From eunuch to emperor

Daming Palace.

The empress was sitting on the phoenix chair, and Baili Bing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was presenting the merits of the war.

"The meritorious officials and the Ministry of War have calculated their merits, and the military merits of each general and school have been determined. Please take a look at it."

Yingfeng took Bailibing's memorial and presented it to the Empress.

After reading the military merit book, the Empress glanced at Baili Bing, then at Bai Qiulian, Minister of War.

"Long Cheng'en killed two generals this time and attacked Caishi City, why didn't he give credit for it?"

Everyone from Emperor Luoxi to Li Xiannan, Zhang Qian, and Xuan Yi had made military achievements, but the empress was not happy about the one who didn't make Long Chen.

"This..."

Baili Bing looked back at Bai Qiulian.

Bai Qiulian came out and bowed: "Return to the Holy Master, Long Chengen has made merits, but he also has faults."

The Empress asked suspiciously: "Fault? What fault?"

Long Chen stood quietly on the side, without any expression on his face.

Bai Qiulian is from Jing Tianlie's side, so it's normal for him to target himself.

Bai Qiulian said: "In the battle of Linjiang City, our army suffered heavy casualties, especially when Shangguanwei attacked at night and broke through the west gate, causing tens of thousands of casualties. I heard that this was due to Long Chen's poor planning."

"In addition, the former deputy general of Linjiang City, and later the main general Shui Han, died in this battle and suffered heavy losses. It is said that it is also Long Chengen's fault."

"Thus, merits and demerits balance out, I thought Long Chengen didn't need to be punished."

Long Chen's heart felt like shit, it's fine if he doesn't reward this frankly, but he actually said he wouldn't punish?

Di Luoxi came out and said angrily: "I'm the commander in chief, and the layout of the city defense is what I mean. What's the matter with Guan Long Cheng'en? How can anyone not die in a war? How can it be Long Cheng'en's fault to die in the cold water? Your military department is like this." Give credit, who will dare to risk their lives in the future!"

Bai Qiulian's targeting this time was too obvious, and the other ministers couldn't stand it.

Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "Bai Shangshu's words are indeed inappropriate. The casualties of the enemy's night attack and the death of General Shui Han have nothing to do with Mr. Long. On behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I refute them."

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of supervising all officials, and Bai Anning has the right to refute it.

Bai Qiulian argued: "Bai Yushi, who will bear the responsibility for the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers in the night attack on Linjiang City?"

Di Luoxi said: "I take responsibility, I am the coach!"

Bai Qiulian was at a loss for words for a moment, she didn't dare to scold Di Luoxi.

"I'm the coach. I didn't do a good job in city defense, which led to the breach of the West Gate. This is my responsibility and has nothing to do with others!"

Di Luoxi took the responsibility.

Bai Qiulian said again: "What about General Shuihan's death? How did General Shuihan die? We haven't found out about this matter!"

Long Chen remained silent, and it was not easy for Di Luoxi to say that Shui Han was a spy in public.

The empress said: "General Shuihan was seriously injured in the battle with Shangguanwei. All the soldiers in Linjiang City know about this, so there is nothing unclear about it."

Bai Qiulian said: "My lord, Shui Han's martial arts skills are so strong that even Long Cheng'en was able to come back alive, but General Shui Han was killed in battle. There must be something strange about this matter. I request the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review it."

The empress looked displeased and said, "Bai Shangshu thinks there is something wrong with the death of General Shuihan?"

Bai Qiulian said: "I just want to give an explanation to General Shuihan, and an explanation to my soldiers of the Great Zhou."

The hall suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, not even the fiery Di Luoxi.

Di Yu looked at Di Luoxi slightly, and she felt a subtle atmosphere.

So did Di Xingwan, she was in charge of the interrogation, and felt that something was wrong with Shuihan.

When Bai Qiulian made such a disturbance, a sense of conspiracy immediately rose in the hall.

The other ministers began to go all the way in private, whether there was a problem after all.

Li Yizheng, a veteran cabinet minister, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the veteran minister has also heard some rumors. This time our army won a big victory. This is a happy event, but because of General Shuihan, it casts a shadow."

"The old minister requests a thorough investigation into this matter to set the record straight."

Li Yizheng was highly respected in court and China, and he was fair in what he did and said. He came out and said it, and other ministers agreed.

Bai Qiulian looked at Long Chen with a sneer on his face.

The empress didn't speak, she looked hesitant, as if she was worried about something.

Emperor Luoxi stood up and objected: "General Shuihan was martyred for the country. Everyone knows about this matter. If there is anything to investigate thoroughly, you like to make fuss about these things!"

Bai Qiulian said: "Princess, if there is no problem, what's the point of checking? You object so much, are the rumors true?"

Di Luoxi wanted to slap Bai Qiulian to death.

"Okay, let the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War thoroughly investigate this matter."

The Empress spoke.

Long Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Empress to agree.

But after a little thought, he immediately understood the joints, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Qiulian bowed: "The Holy One is wise."

Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hu Chengfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "This humble minister leads the decree."

The empress stood up, and all the ministers dispersed.

The Minister of the Ministry of War Bai Qiu practiced out of the court, and Wang Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, followed behind and returned to the Ministry of War together.

"My lord also thinks that there is something strange about General Shuihan's death?"

Wang Wei asked.

Bai Qiulian sneered and said, "I also have people in Linjiang City. Shuihan didn't confront Shangguanwei at all. She was in charge of the defense of the north gate and was not injured at all."

"When Shangguanwei escaped, Shuihan was locked in the room by Di Luoxi and Long Chengen, and died inexplicably."

"There is definitely something wrong with this matter!"

Wang Wei was surprised and said: "Impossible, why did the princess do anything to Shui Han? I heard that the princess appointed Shui Han as the general of Linjiang City, it doesn't make sense."

Bai Qiulian sneered and said, "It's just a cover to cover up."

Wang Wei nodded and said, "This subordinate understands."

Bai Qiulian said: "We want to give General Shui Han justice and let her rest in peace."

After the court was over, Di Luoxi and Long Chen went back to the West Palace, and when they reached the intersection, Di Xingwan came over.

"Fourth sister, what's going on?"

"fine!"

Di Luoxi ignored Di Xingwan and walked over, ignoring Di Xingwan.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something, turned around and grabbed Long Chen and left.

Di Xingwan was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Fourth Sister is really stingy!"

Long Chen was speechless, what time was it, and he was worried that he would be snatched away by Di Xingwan.

Back in the West Palace, Emperor Luoxi took off his court clothes and changed into casual clothes, lying on the couch, cursing: "This Bai Qiulian really thinks of himself as a member of the Jing family! Sun Lingxue is not dead yet!"

Sun Lingxue is Jing Tianlie's wife.

It has been rumored in the court that Bai Qiulian likes Jing Tianlie. She not only wants to marry her daughter to Jing Heng, but also wants to marry herself to Jing Tianlie.

Xuanyi and Qingyue were also furious when they attended the court discussion just now.

"This Bai Qiulian is shameless, and her husband doesn't care!"

"I heard that her husband is incompetent. In that regard, his official position is not high, so I dare not say it."

"Incompetent? Don't you have any fingers? Xiaolonglong is gone, and his fingers are also very powerful."

"I also find it strange that Xiaolonglong's fingers are also very good. We are all very happy."

Long Chen looked at Xuanyi and Qingyue in a daze, and complained: "Hey! Two beauties, we have no grievances or enmity, why do you hurt me like this?"

Didn't they scold Bai Qiulian together?Why did you drag yourself into it all of a sudden?
