princess?I am not rare

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers responded in unison: "The ministers are willing to be loyal to the country, and only after death!"

Afterwards, it was the customary praise and singing of praises.

Just as everyone was immersed in this festive and joyful atmosphere, a faint voice suddenly said: "I heard that during the period when the king and queen prayed for blessings, General Motai's birthday was on Yi's birthday. And the night before the birthday, there was an assassin. Do you know if it's true?"

Yoyo's voice wasn't too loud, but it made those who sang praises shut up in an instant.

In a word, like a gust of cold wind blowing, the air instantly became tense, even with a hint of coldness.

The person who said this was dressed in brocade clothes showing a slender figure, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a hint of coldness, and a slight ironic smile on his lips.

This is not someone else, but King Dingbei who went to pray with the king and queen this time, the elder brother of the king.

The words of King Dingbei are put here leisurely, followed by the different reactions of the officials.

I saw the young man who should not have appeared in the court hall suddenly stepped forward, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I am guilty! I also went to celebrate the birthday of General Motai, but I didn't notice the assassin's arrival in time, which surprised the people in the general's mansion." gone."

Meng Tai, the captain of the Qingying Guard, knelt on the ground with infinite sincerity, begging for forgiveness.

Subsequently, several other guard generals also knelt down one after another, begging for a crime.

Such a scene is like facing His Royal Highness in the early dynasty, but now it is facing the monarch.

All the ministers have already discussed what happened in the morning.

Now, facing the monarch, they also carry a trace of unknown.

After all, the monarch's means and handling methods are not comparable to the prince.

Many ministers understand that the prince may not have dealt with it clearly in the early court, but in fact, he thinks the matter is important and waits for the monarch to intervene in person.

The monarch quietly looked at the four people kneeling on the ground pleading guilty, quietly, without saying a word.

Because of the silence in the entire court hall, people suddenly felt uneasy.

After a long time, when everyone was uneasy and didn't know what decision would be made, the monarch said coolly, "Who is the assassin?"

The head of Si Xun Hall suddenly walked out of the official column, and after respectfully saluting, he said: "My lord, I have sent people to Xiangsi City to interrogate those who are living at this moment. According to the clothes of those people and the confession of the living, they are Goguryeo Split the party."

"Gaoguryeo?" Turning his eyes coolly, the monarch looked at Prime Minister Zhong beside him, with an expression in his eyes that needed to be explained.

After receiving this instruction from the monarch, the Prime Minister Duanmuche walked out of the official ranks, and after a respectful salute, he said: "My lord, the internal divisions in Goguryeo are particularly serious this year. Although their monarch still focuses on peace according to the agreement of the year, the new A separatist force is trying to destroy this stability and peace. And General Motai is one of the generals guarding the frontiers of our dynasty, so they will make such a bad plan."

Nodding slightly, the monarch looked at the four people who were kneeling to plead guilty, and finally turned his attention to his son, and said, "What advice does the crown prince have on this matter?"

Hearing this, the prince knew that his father wanted to test his ability to handle affairs, and he also knew that he was thinking about his own affairs to handle by himself.

So, taking a step forward, the prince respectfully said: "The assassin was able to sneak into the general's mansion and find out the movements of several generals. It is indeed due to weak guards and should be punished. It's just that I heard that it was thanks to Chen Xiang's timely appearance that night that he made the assassin The people in the general's mansion escaped the sneak attack of the echo crossbow."

Hearing the prince's words, the monarch raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? Chen Xiang also went to Xiangsi City?"

"Yes. Uncle Huang is not here. Chen Xiang went to Xiangsi City on behalf of his father to celebrate the birthday of the Motai veteran general." The prince said respectfully, and looked at Zhennan King next to him, but he saw the man smiling and looking at the monarch. .

The monarch heard the words, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. Is Chenxiang still in Xiangsi City at this time?"

"Yes." His Royal Highness said, "I heard that because of Chen Xiang's several military exploits, the old general likes him very much, and he will definitely keep him for a while longer."

Hearing this, the expression on the monarch's face softened a lot.

Afterwards, the monarch inquired about some affairs in the court during his absence from the palace, and listened to the memorials of some ministers.

By the time the last big Chen finished his report, it was already an hour and a half later.

Seeing that the sky gradually lost the strong light, it became softer.

In the middle of the court, both the monarch and the ministers are already a little sleepy, and everyone is looking forward to the early dispersal of the court.

In the end, the monarch gave a rare smile and said: "My dear friends have done a good job. During the time when the prince supervised the country, I am very happy that you can work together to help the prince. It is not too early. If you have nothing else to do, just Let's go back first."

Hearing this, everyone let out a long breath and were about to relax and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as the king finished speaking, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man stepping out of the official ranks and said, "Report to the king, I have something to report."

Everyone looked at this unlucky man, but saw that he was none other than Lord Censor, the current head of the Meng family, and Meng Qi's uncle.

The monarch, who had a slightly tired face, looked at the man who suddenly appeared, and said, "What is Aiqing going to do?"

I saw this Master Meng took out a few sheets of paper full of calligraphy and paintings from his arms, and then presented them respectfully with both hands: "My lord, I have obtained some information, and learned that the former Qingying Guards Chang Mengtai's death has something to do with the son of Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Please also ask the king to investigate clearly."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the court who were still full of tiredness and impatience suddenly cheered up!

what?

Did Meng Tai's death have anything to do with Luo Chenxiang?

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help turning his head around, first at the man who gave the evidence, and then at his father's expression.

Lord Meng Yushi seemed very calm and composed, with a pride of determination on his face.

The prince lowered his eyes, making his expression hard to see.

Only those cold lips were tightly pressed, making it even more difficult for people to understand his mood at this moment.

Hearing such words, the monarch couldn't hide his surprise, but remained calm.

In the moment of silence, a faint voice said: "Oh? Master Meng, you must understand that such slanderous words cannot be said indiscriminately. Especially if you are a capable general against me."

He used words very cleverly, and he said "a capable general of the dynasty", not something like the son of the world.It fully explained that apart from those statuses, Luo Chenxiang also played a real role.

Following the prestige, he saw that the man in crescent white clothes was looking at Mr. Meng with a half-smile, his watery eyes were watching quietly, without any fluctuations.

Hearing this, Lord Nameng said respectfully: "The prince of Zhennan is very right. If the old minister has no evidence, he naturally dare not speak nonsense."

King Zhennan, the sixth younger brother of the king, is also one of the princes who went to pray with the king and queen this time.

However, he still has an extremely sensitive identity at this moment, and that is Luo Chenxiang's father!

Everyone in the court knew that the king of Zhennan was deeply loved by the monarch, but he rarely intervened in political affairs.

Today's sudden opening still surprised everyone in the court.

However, soon everyone knew that this Lord Meng was talking about the son of Prince Zhennan.

This little prince is naturally protecting the calf, so how can he tolerate others messing with his family?

Even if Luo Chenxiang wasn't his own son, he had been a father and son with him for more than ten years.

However, in the face of Zhennan King's stern rebuttal, Mr. Meng obviously has enough self-confidence.

Therefore, he respectfully presented the paper in his hand again, and said to the man in the highest position above the court: "Here is the evidence, please look over it, Your Majesty."

The chief servant came forward to take away the things from Mr. Nameng's hands, and then presented them to the monarch respectfully.

After receiving a few sheets of paper, the monarch quickly glanced at them, but still settled down a little on those drawings.

After reading it, he didn't comment, but said: "The prince also came to have a look."

After finishing speaking, the head servant hurriedly took the papers and ran them in front of Luo Zijin.

After taking the few pieces of paper, the prince looked at them quickly, and the expression on his face became a little uncertain, but he couldn't hide his coldness.

When he saw the last picture, he suddenly smiled and said: "Captain Meng really has a heart, it's just that he didn't arrive in time when something happened in the Motai General's residence in Xiangsi City, and he was able to kill the assassin who was killed by Chen Xiang with such careful thought." Let Zuo study the wound carefully."

Glancing at the star-like eyes in the cool night, the prince looked at the Lord Meng Yushi who had already kneeled respectfully to pay respects, the expression on his face changed

Unpredictable.

But what he said made the court people present couldn't help but look at each other, and then all looked at the papers.

The man in crescent white clothes took a step forward, and King Zhennan took the so-called "evidence" from the prince.

But I saw that there were detailed descriptions of Montai's death, as well as the wounds on his body, the almost invisible wound on his neck.Then, there was a description of the death of several assassins who attacked the General's Mansion at night.

Similarly, among the assassins who died in Mo Taijin's courtyard, three of them also had thin wounds on their necks, which were barely visible.

And these three people were shot by Luo Chenxiang and died under his sword.

Therefore, it is concluded that there is an inevitable connection between Luo Chenxiang and Mengtai's death.

Looking at the few pieces of paper, Zhennan Wang smiled slightly, and a face that still looked like a boy made people feel sunny.Facing the peach-blossom eyes of King Dingbei who was looking over from the side, King Zhennan shrugged and handed it over: "It's really good evidence!"

King Dingbei took the paper with the evidence and flipped through it. He still had a half-smile on his face, but people couldn't figure out what it meant.

Finally, the man on the throne said: "People from the Department of Criminal Justice can take a look first, and the prime ministers can also take a look."

Soon, Su Muda, the head of the Judiciary Department, came forward respectfully, took the "evidence" from King Dingbei with both hands, and looked at it carefully.The expression on his face was extremely serious.

When he finished reading it, he took the initiative to hand over the papers to Prime Minister Zhong.

After another inspection, the monarch on the throne asked: "I have seen Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

Those who hadn't seen it stretched their necks, trying to see something, but they didn't dare to make it too obvious.

So, they could only stretch their ears and listen carefully.

Several people who had seen it first glanced at each other.

Except for the monarch, the crown prince was the first to look at it, and he was a little bit annoyed, so he said in a bad tone: "The similarities are good, but why should the hero who took action in a crisis come here to save people?" Suffering criticism in vain?"

The prince's words were merciless, and his eyes were even more rude to look at Nameng Yushi.However, he saw that the person being watched did not change in any way, his eyes were still lowered, with a respectful and humble appearance.

The king of Zhennan still looked moist, blinking his eyes, but still said firmly: "This king and the prince have similar views, and I think the evidence that Mr. Meng found is reasonable. This king is not partial to my family. Xiang, it's just that the world is so big, there is more than one person who can use this trick, Luo Chenxiang? I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to make a conclusion like this!"

Everyone nodded, and King Dingbei just smiled faintly.

Afterwards, seeing the voices of discussion gradually rising, he said quietly: "Anyone with good swordsmanship?"
