Outside the Changyi Hall in the capital palace of the Qin Kingdom, Chief Eunuch Wei Quan stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and said to the inside, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

After finishing speaking, Wei Quan didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the king and causing his head to fall to the ground.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the hall, and after a while, the door was pushed open, Zong Hua was wearing a black and gold dragon crown, and the five-clawed golden dragon flaunted the brocade silk and silver forging, and stepped on black forging boots , embroidered with plum blossoms on the upper, the face is as white as snow, delicate but not a trace of softness, full of imposing manner, just one glance at Wei Quan, it feels like an ice cellar, and the whole body is chilly.

"Wang Qijia." Wei Quan said in a sharp voice.

Zong Hua sat on the dragon, crossed the atrium, passed the Hall of Longevity, and arrived at the hall, Zong Hua stepped down, with his hands behind his back, his face frosty.

"Wang Dao, bow down—" Wei Quan said.

The ministers waiting in the hall knelt down and bowed their heads: "My king, long live and be safe."

Zong Hua passed between the ministers, stepped up the steps step by step, and walked towards the large and luxurious dragon chair.

Wei Quan followed Zong Hua, stood on the next step of Zong Hua, and said with a voice: "There is a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat."

Zong Hua sat lazily on it, "This dragon chair is really comfortable and soft. No wonder so many people are vying for the chair."

Xiao Gouzi complained: "When people fight, they don't want to be soft."

Civil servants stand on the right, and generals stand on the left.

A civil official, Wenyu Pavilion, Qingqing of Dali Temple, who is in charge of the prison, stood up, "I have this to play."

Zong Hua raised her hand, nodded noblely, and said indifferently: "Say."

Wen Yuge glanced at Liu Fei who was standing among the generals, Liu Fei was caught by this gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He secretly thought that it was not good, and he was afraid that Wen Yuge had caught him for something.

Wen Yuge went on to say: "I want to impeach Zhenyuan General Liu Fei. He is lawless and has raised about [-] private soldiers in his hometown Pingqiong regardless of the emperor's grace."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Fei broke out in a cold sweat, but she gritted her teeth and stood up immediately, first pointing at Wenyu Pavilion and shouting: "Miss Wensi, why are you so bloody?"

Then he knelt down and explained to Zong Hua: "My king, I will never do such a rebellious thing. I beg Wang Mingjian to return my loyalty."

Zong Hua raised her eyebrows: "Wen Qing is in charge of my prison, and the law is to keep it in mind."

Wenyu Pavilion was upright, with an upright face: "Naturally, if you wrong the officials above the fifth rank of the court, you will be sentenced to death. If you are below the fifth rank, you will be fined 3000 taels of silver and [-] dozen boards."

Zong Hua: "Well, where is Wen Qing's evidence?"

Wen Yuge took out the memorial in his hand, raised his hands respectfully, and said, "Please Wang Mingcha, this is the evidence that I have found in half a year."

Wei Quan got Zong Hua's eyes, went down and took the memorial in Wen Yuge's hand into Zong Hua's hands.

Underneath, Liu Fei was a little flustered, but she didn't show any timidity, and argued loudly for herself: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am dedicated to serving the country, how can I do such a thing."

Listening to the noisy howling, Zong Hua frowned slightly, and pierced her eyes, looking at Liu Fern as if she was looking at a dead person: "Gag his mouth and make noise in Gu's ears."

The little eunuch next to him got the order and stepped forward with a cloth, ready to gag Liu Fei's mouth.

Another general, An Ming, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Wang, General Liu is a minister of the humerus, how can you treat him like this, Wang's actions really chill the heart of my general."

Zong Hua paused again, looking at An Ming with piercing eyes: "Are you teaching Gu how to do things?"

An Ming knelt on the ground and said vigorously: "I dare not, I just think that General Liu should not be treated like this."

Then several generals and civil officials stood up one after another, pleading for Liu Fei, but they were all so frightened by Zong Hua's eyes that they stared at the ground and knelt down.

Zong Hua looked at the folder in his hand, but he didn't look carefully, but instead focused on the expressions of the officials in the court.

On the one hand, she knows the content of this booklet, because she wrote it and handed it to Wen Yuge, and he also contributed to today's situation. On the other hand, she wants to take the opportunity to see Liu Fei's people. , penetrated to that extent.

Zong Hua hit Liu Fei's heart lightly: "I never thought that Liu Qing's popularity is so good, so many officials pleaded for you."

Liu Fei's heart skipped a beat again, this damned Qin Shang was full of eccentricities all day long, and he panicked on his face: "The king, the king forgives the crime, I have never formed a party for personal gain, these ministers are only looking at the patriotism of the minister, so they can't do it. Will want to help ministers speak."

"is it?"

Zong Hua sneered, closed the booklet, and slammed one forcefully on Liu Fei's forehead. Liu Fei didn't dare to dodge, so he had to bear the heavy blow with anger and resentment.

Zong Hua's black stone-like eyes were heavy, deep and cold, with a look of stormy weather: "Liu Qing, can you explain what is written in this book?"

Liu Fei picked up the booklet, opened it to read, it was full of evidence, and it was detailed, the location was clearly written, and it was said that the five thousand private soldiers had been arrested.This... how should it be...

Liu Fei looked at Zhezi, his mind spinning rapidly, and then there was grief and indignation on his face: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, even if there are private soldiers hidden in my hometown as mentioned above, it has nothing to do with me, Wang, I have been fighting outside all the year round, so what The money and time from here can support such a huge expenditure on raising troops, Wang, this is slander, slander!!"

Liu Fei then said righteously: "I beg the king to thoroughly investigate this matter, and return my innocence."

Zong Wei curled her lips slightly, with a cool look in her eyes: "Even so, I will give you a chance. You go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate the mouths of those private soldiers, and give me a name. Otherwise, Liu Qing, I just want to protect you." You can't even explain to your ancestors."

It seems to be a way out, but it is still walking on the cliff step by step, stepping on the tip of the knife.

Liu Fei was furious from the bottom of her heart, but her mouth remained the same: "Thank you for your kindness, I will live up to the king and find out the real culprit."

After retiring from the court, the ministers sent the great Buddha away, and they all breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped from death.

"Wang's mood is getting worse day by day."

"Yeah, it's been almost a month since the class teacher returned to court, and he hasn't had a good time."

"Who said no?"

"It's not that the Han people are treacherous and cunning, they actually negotiated a peace, and even shamelessly wanted to send a woman to marry, no wonder the king is angry."

"It's true. These warriors can't even win a battle. It's a waste of our country's treasury."

"Sliding the world's great joke."

At this moment, the bad-tempered Zong Hua, who was being talked about by the civil servants, plunged into the imperial study room, correcting the memorial, with an expressionless face like a machine.

The reason why she attacked Liu Fei so quickly was because she was upset in her heart and wanted to find someone to vent her anger on, and that unlucky guy was Liu Fei, the son of luck.

As for why he was in a bad mood, the reason can be traced back to the chest attack incident.

That time Yuan Cheng suddenly touched her chest, although she didn't understand why, she still didn't miss the opportunity to moles Yuan Chengdao: "Why, is King Qi so hungry?"

Yuan Chengdao's reaction was different from what Zong Hua had imagined. The man frowned slightly, retracted his hands, and put his back behind his back, with Zong Hua's familiar expression in his eyes: "Are you a woman?"

Zong Hua heard her say this and said, "Yes, I am a woman."

Anger appeared on Yuan Cheng's face, a cheated anger: "Why didn't you tell me that you are a woman?"

Seeing her angry, Zong Hua explained: "No, I thought you knew in your heart that I am a woman."

Seeing her rebuttal, Yuan Cheng was even angrier: "You never said, how do I know?"

It's over, she has never cared about the fact that she is a woman disguised as a man. She thought Yuan Cheng had already recognized that she was a woman, so she never confessed this awareness at all. This is too bad, with Yuan Cheng's thoughts , afraid of taking her as an emotional liar.

When Zong Hua heard Yuan Cheng's tone, she secretly thought that the matter had become serious, and she explained again: "No, I thought you would know that I am a woman. I was wrong about this matter. May I apologize to you?"

Zong Hua was pitiful and played coquettishly with a long tone: "Don't be angry, okay? I was wrong."

Yuan Cheng was inexplicably softened by the look, and then she turned her head away from looking at the man's face. She was too confused. She suppressed her anger and tried to keep it as calm as possible: "Leave this matter aside, you are a woman, so what did you say before that?" What's the matter with wanting to marry me?"

In the past, she thought she was a man, so she said it out. Now, can two women be together?Yuan Cheng never had this concept in his mind. This guy knew that both of them were women, but agreed to marry her. In this way, he was a big joke in her eyes.

Yuan Cheng, who was thinking about it at this moment, felt uncomfortable and looked at Zong Hua even more unkindly.

Zong Hua was serious immediately, without gags at all: "I am serious about marrying you. You are a woman, and I am also a woman. Women and women can be together."

Yuan Cheng's eyes showed doubts: "Going against the sky, I have never heard of such a thing."

Zong Hua explained with a smile: "We have a lot of such things in Qin, really, I didn't lie to you."

Yuan Cheng looked at Zong Hua. Although Zong Hua said so, there was always a little awkwardness in Yuan Cheng's heart. If she couldn't get rid of it, she couldn't face Zong Hua. She sighed and said: "The relationship between us I need to think about it again."

Zong Hua couldn't persuade her, the two said that they broke up unhappy, and Yuan Cheng didn't have another chance to show Zong Hua's favor. When the time came, Yuan Cheng returned to her Fengcheng.

Damn it, Yuan Cheng didn't come when the agreement was signed that day. The only thing that reassured Zong Hua was that the marriage in the agreement was not crossed out by Yuan Cheng.

.........

The Liu Fern arrived at the Dali Temple Prison, led by Wenyu Pavilion, and stepped into the dungeon, where the sun was out of sight, and every five steps was illuminated by a dim oil lamp.

Liu Fei frowned in disgust, and followed behind Wenyuge. Wenyuge looked down on Liu Fei. Seeing him like this, he laughed and said, "Master Liu is a person who does great things, why can't he even stand this, thanks to you a general."

Not to be outdone, Liu Fei retorted, "Master Wen, when I killed people, I'm afraid you didn't know where you were crying for your father and mother."

Wen Yuge was choked with anger, feeling depressed, and threw his sleeves behind his back: "Hmph, a man of the market."

What Liu Fei hates the most is being told about his background. Most of the high-ranking military generals in the court are inherited from their families, and very few of them work hard on their own. When he became a general, he was often looked down upon.

At this moment, Wenyuge's deliberate ridicule made Liu Fei bear a grudge in his heart. He stared at him in disgust, and swore in his heart: "When he succeeds in his career, we will definitely push these people who look down on him into the quagmire."

Seeing that he was not talking to him, Wen Yuge felt complacent and gained the upper hand, his nasal cavity vibrated, and he let out a cold snort of contempt.

Not long after, Wenyu Pavilion led Liu Fei to the end, and said to the little official guarding the gate, "Open the door for Mr. Liu."

The little official clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Mr. Wen." Then he took out the key and opened the door.

Wen Yuge mocked: "Master Liu, go, Wen will not be with you."
