Han Jian walked up the stairs and arrived at the gate of Zhengying Palace. A guard wanted to check his identity. After Han Jian showed his identity, the guards did not dare to stop him, so Han Jian was able to enter the gate of the palace.

Although Zhengying Hall is where the Queen's Palace faces ministers on weekdays, it is not magnificent. Once you enter the palace gate, you look very simple. There are not many court officials, about 10 or 20 people, all of whom are dressed as civil officials, standing on both sides. When Han Jian came in, the court officials turned around and looked at him. The atmosphere of the court seemed very casual and had no sense of solemnity.

The queen sat on the chair directly behind the table, looking at the door. Seeing Han Jian coming in, the queen didn't say much, and her expression seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"I will meet your Majesty." Han Jian went to the court and bowed.

"Get up and talk." The queen said in a rigid voice, "This time, you are summoning King Dong to inquire about the injury of the escort captain yesterday. I heard that you were also present at that time?"

Han Jian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed present, but the scenes are complicated. I have not seen who injured Feng Duwei."

"Yes." The queen nodded slightly, not saying anything.

Han Jian then told the general situation at that time, which was basically what he witnessed with his own eyes, including the female actor's escape. What he said was objective description, without personal emotions, and no speculation was made.

"Why does the Dong Wang mean that Feng Duwei forced the robbery of the people first?" As soon as Han Jian finished speaking, a minister next to him asked in a questioning tone.

Han Jian glanced at the man. He didn't recognize an old minister in his fifties and sixties, but he looked at the official uniforms on his body, which was a purple robe and had a great official position.

Han Jian smiled and shook his head, saying, "Emperor Feng held the woman at that time and said he was to capture the assassin of the rioters. As for that, I don't know. I'm afraid I have to ask Emper Feng himself first to know."

"How can the King of the East be so ruthless?" A minister in his forties next to him said in a tough tone, "The captain of the escort was beaten, and the King of the East is also present. Is it a coincidence or something else? The King of the East also wants to give an explanation?"

Han Jian sneered: "What are you giving me? I told you that Wei Feng, whom I sent someone to hurt?"

The minister said proudly: "So, has the King of Eastern admit it?"

Han Jian said: "What do you want me to admit? In the eyes of so many people, a group of people who don't know where to come from injured him. Can this be the one that depends on me?"

The minister had long heard Han Jian talk crazy at the previous palace banquet, and he mentioned his dead father like crazy. After a while, he played a stringless guitar and caused a famous scholar to lose his reputation. This time it was his first time fighting with Han Jian, and he felt that he could not help Han Jian.

"Stop!" The queen suddenly scolded her with a stern voice.

The minister wanted to get entangled with Han Jian, but after hearing this, he could only salute the queen respectfully and dared not say more.

The queen looked at Han Jian and said, "This time I have summoned the Eastern King to come. You guessed that the Eastern King might be related to this matter. Now the Eastern King has explained that this matter has nothing to do with him. What else do you have to do? Do you have to make a case cause chaos in the court before you will give up?"

The other ministers were originally very casual, and when they saw the queen's majesty, they didn't dare to say anything.

"Dongwang, you go down first. You don't need to be too careful about this matter before the matter is found out." The queen added.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian heard that the Queen's words meant to protect her shortcomings, and at the same time, it seemed to be hinting at something to him.

After all, Han Jian is a vassal king and does not need to participate in the discussion of the court. After talking about Feng Qing being beaten, he could leave. After leaving Zhengying Palace, Han Jian felt in a bad mood. It was nothing to go to the palace for a walk, mainly because the attitudes of the ministers seemed to have a grudge against him.

"Why didn't you see Old Man Gu and Old Man Cui?"

Han Jian thought about it and had never seen these two old enemies in the court before.

Although Cui Mingli is a little bit light and it is normal for him to not be in the court. But Gu Weipan is the chief minister of the Shangdian Office after all, and it is a bit unreasonable for him to be without such an occasion.

...

...

Han Jian left the palace gate and went directly to Qingxu Yashe. At this time, Sima Yi did not come out, only Yang Xi was sitting waiting for him.

"Brother Han, is it okay?" Yang Xi met Han Jian and asked with concern.

"I happened to be there last night. I happened to be there. I will explain on a routine basis what could happen." Han Jian said casually.

"Perhaps someone has made my sister unhappy. My sister has been in a bad mood recently and she doesn't say anything. She just listens to the little eunuchs talking about it, saying that the ministers often ask questions for her sister."

Yang Xi was originally an unintentional sentence, but Han Jian noticed something.

Han Jian didn't understand at first why some ministers dared to attack him, the Eastern King, in front of the court. Now it seems that these people are unscrupulous and should be unscrupulous. The empress's tough attitude at that time also shows that the empress is a little impatient with such things.

"Do you hear who is behind Feng Qing?" Han Jian sat down in the old seat and asked Yang Xi.

Yang Xi thought for a while and said, "Feng Qing? I don't know much. I have never asked about the escort. This matter should be done by the rioters. Does Brother Han suspect that he was seeking revenge by his enemies?"

Han Jian didn't say much, and soon Sima and guard Zhang Xing came over to summarize the results of the investigation.

"The young master is not bad as expected. The man surnamed Feng is indeed non-party and has no relatives in the capital. It is said that even his wife's house was left in his hometown and he was not brought here." Sima Zhi said.

Han Jian thought to himself that this is still a "naked official".

"Why did you check who he offended on weekdays?" Han Jian asked.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this. He is a lieutenant in the escort and is very low-key on weekdays. But... I don't know where the wind came from in the city today, saying that he..."

Sima Yi said, glanced at Yang Xi, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"What are you talking about him? Why don't you continue?" Han Jian frowned.

"This matter... cannot be said, it's very disrespectful..." Sima was embarrassed.

What kind of rumor can one be that when something is so disrespectful? Han Jian guessed that the matter should be related to the Queen.

"Didn't this person with Feng's surname has any special relationship with His Majesty?" Han Jian said with a deep face.

Sima Yi said in surprise: "Young Master, can you guess this? Or have you... heard of something?"

Han Jian sighed without saying anything in detail, only Yang Xi next to him kept asking what was going on. Sima Zhi smiled. He knew what was secretive about this matter, because of rumors outside that Feng Qing was the queen's husband, and this time Feng Qing was killed, which added another meaning.

Han Jian had never heard of this rumor, but he guessed it.

It was mainly because he knew that the queen's mother, Lin, was born into a humble family and was favored by the prince's ancestors, and gave birth to the queen. The Lin family was a thin family and had never heard of the queen having any "distant relatives". Feng Qing's kinship with the queen was probably spread by rumors, and the most serious thing was the relationship between men and women.

The empress lived deep in the palace and was still alone for a long time, which inevitably caused many criticisms from the outside world to criticize her, especially the Wei Dynasty and Qi Dynasty today, with foreign enemies outside, and internal rebellion and hostile Northern and Western Kings. They were eager to give the empress some shit to make the empress lose its prestige. In fact, the rumors that Feng Qing had a relationship with the empress could not stand scrutiny, but such rumors began to spread in Luoyang City the day after Feng Qing died.

How vicious is the person behind it?
