"Would Sedum Liere request your mother to attend court tomorrow?"
Di Luoxi asked.
Long Chen nodded and said: "Jing Tianlie must be impatient. If he defeats me, he can take over the Ministry of Works. The six departments can control five. He, Jing Tianlie, can cover the sky with one hand."
Killing Long Chen will not only take control of the Ministry of Industry, but also serve as a warning to the monkeys, letting everyone see that Jing Tianlie has the final say in the court of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and anyone who dares to challenge will be doomed!
Di Luoxi sneered and said, "He has a good idea. Da Zhou is not from his Jing family."
Zhang Qian suddenly asked: "I forgot to ask Xiang Ning, where did this secret message come from?"
Long Chen said: "No need to ask, it must have been sent by Feng He."
When Xiang Ning came in with the secret letter just now, Long Chen wanted to ask, but after reading the contents of the secret letter, Long Chen concluded that it was from Feng He, so he stopped asking.
"Feng He, he said last time that there was enough evidence. Do you think it is credible?"
Di Luoxi was suddenly worried. If she couldn't get Jing Tianlie to admit his guilt tomorrow and was bitten back, it would be troublesome.
Long Chen shook his head slightly: "I don't know. Our purpose this time is to shake the prestige of the General's Mansion and suppress his power in the court. As for the troops and secret guards in his hands, we have to do it slowly."
The General's Mansion tree has deep roots and Jingtian Lie's status in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is higher than Long Ye's status in Nanliang. It is impossible to eradicate it all at once.
Di Luoxi's face was solemn. She felt that tomorrow's interrogation would definitely create a storm.
"I want to remind my mother to be careful. The soldiers and horses outside the city must be transferred into the city to station themselves."
Long Chen said: "Princess, you are worrying too much. Your Majesty must have made arrangements in advance."
Di Luoxi was worried and got up and went to Fengming Palace.
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng hurried into the study and reported: "The troops and horses outside the city have been prepared, the shadow guards have dispersed, and the Royal Forest Army has also been deployed."
The shadow guard also knew that Shui Han's body would be brought to the capital tomorrow, so the empress immediately asked Ying Feng to arrange the defense of the capital.
"Okay, when Jingtianlie enters the palace, let the troops enter the city."
The empress nodded slightly.
The soldiers and horses outside the city are only ready and have not yet entered the city.
The empress was waiting for Jing Tianlie to enter the palace. Once Jing Tianlie requested a public trial of Shui Han's case tomorrow, she would send troops into the city.
This was done to prevent Jing Tianlie from feeling that the empress was targeting him.
Yingfeng was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, can Long Cheng'en deal with Jing Tianlie?"
The Jing family is a family of military generals from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Jing Tianlie is the third generation general with a big tree and deep roots, Long Chen is just a foreign eunuch, Yingfeng is very doubtful about Long Chen's fighting ability.
The empress smiled lightly: "Besides Long Chengen, is there another person?"
Yingfeng was stunned.
Although there were many civil and military officials in the court, they were all afraid of Jing Tianlie. The only one who dared to confront the General's Mansion was Long Chen.
Outside the door, Di Luoxi barged in and said, "Mother, Jing Tianlie may request that Shui Han's case be interrogated tomorrow. We must be prepared."
The empress smiled and said: "You are still so unstable. I want you to learn from Long Chengen and be calm when doing things."
Di Luoxi sat next to the empress and said, "It's not that I'm unsteady, I'm in a hurry."
The empress said: "Everything has been arranged, just wait for Jing Tianlie to enter the palace."
Outside the door, the maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the general wants to see you."
The empress smiled and said: "Look, this is not coming."
Di Luoxi felt relieved when she saw that the empress had made arrangements.
"My son, please retire."
Di Luoxi left Fengming Palace through the side door.
"Xuan!"
The empress calmed down, picked up a memorial and read it.
Jing Tianlie, wearing court clothes, walked in from the outside and said, "I pay my respects to your Majesty."
The empress put down the memorial and said with a smile: "What do you want, General?"
Jing Tianlie said: "Wei Chen should not have intervened in Shui Han's case, but because the matter was related to the military stability of the Zhou generals, Wei Chen sent someone to bring General Shui Han's body back to the capital, and it is being inspected in the capital.
An autopsy will be conducted at the hospital, and the results will be available tonight."
"Wei Chen requests that the Holy Emperor hold a public hearing on this case in the market tomorrow and give an explanation to the people and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The empress looked unkind and said slightly angrily: "General Shuihan has been laid to rest, how can you dig his grave?"
Jing Tianlie hurriedly bowed and said: "To find out the case, we must dig the grave. The secret minister also wants to make General Shui Han rest his eyes under the nine springs."
The empress' anger was still lingering, and an invisible pressure filled the study room. Jing Tianlie could clearly feel the oppression.
This is a sense of oppression across levels, the terrifying coercion of the Emperor's cultivation.
Jing Tianlie's heart skipped a beat: the rumors were false and the empress's cultivation level had not declined.
Thinking of this, Jing Tianlie bent down unconsciously: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
The pressure in the study room suddenly dissipated, and the empress' gloomy expression slowly faded.
"That's all, you also want to stabilize the morale of the military."
"There will be a public trial in the market tomorrow. All civil and military officials will be ordered to attend, and the people of the capital will be allowed to observe."
"Let the army enter the city to maintain order and avoid causing trouble."
Yingfeng bowed and said, "Wei minister accepts the order."
Jingtian Lie bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
The empress sighed slightly: "Step back."
Jing Tianlie bowed and respectfully exited Fengming Palace.
After leaving the palace, Jing Tianlie touched his back and found that he was soaked with sweat.
"The Empress' cultivation is still there."
Jing Tianlie was secretly frightened. He didn't understand why the Empress was so tolerant to him since she was still in cultivation.
Are you bluffing?
On the battlefield, the way to use troops is to be real and weak, and weak to be real. Weak enemies like to pretend to be strong, and strong enemies like to show weakness. Jing Tianlie knows this well.
"Let's talk tomorrow."
Jing Tianlie got on his horse and galloped back.
In the study room of Fengming Palace, Yingfeng immediately went out to arrange for the army to enter the city, and at the same time sent an order to all civil and military officials to attend the trial tomorrow.
The empress entered the secret room and did not allow anyone to disturb her.
Di Luoxi returned to the West Palace, and Long Chen was still waiting for her to come back.
"How about it?"
"You can do it. You have guessed everything. Jing Tianlie is at the Queen Mother's place."
Di Luoxi felt that Long Chen was really a genius, and he could guess right.
Back on the kang, Qingyue took off Di Luoxi's coat.
"The Holy One has been able to cultivate to the Emperor Realm, and his resourcefulness is absolutely unparalleled in the world. How could His Majesty not think of the things we can think of?"
Long Chen is not flattering, this is the truth.
The Empress is the first Emperor and the only Emperor-level warrior in the world.
Anyone who can cultivate to this level must be a good person. It is impossible for a fool to become a master.
"Hey, this is the first time I hear you praise someone else."
Di Luoxi hugged Long Chen with one hand and squeezed his chest muscles with the other, asking: "Why are you still like this? You don't look like a eunuch at all. Is it because you haven't cut it cleanly?"
Long Chen quickly said: "Clean, very clean."
He was talking about serious things, but suddenly he was not serious anymore.
"Feng He said he would produce evidence. When will he send the evidence?"
Zhang Qian is very worried that she won't be able to deal with Jing Tianlie tomorrow.
Long Chen said: "I can't contact Feng He, so I can only wait for him to take action."
"If Feng He can produce key evidence, we can severely injure Jing Tianlie; if he doesn't show up, we can kill Jing Heng and the Ministry of War at the same time."
This interrogation is Long Chen's test for Feng He. If he shows up tomorrow, Long Chen will choose to cooperate with him and slowly build trust.
If he doesn't show up tomorrow, Long Chen will find a way to get rid of this person, although it will be very troublesome.
At this time, the female official from Fengming Palace came over to deliver a letter, stating that there would be a public trial tomorrow and that Di Luoxi, Long Chen and others would be invited to participate.
All high-ranking officials in the capital have received the message and are required to attend tomorrow's trial.
Notices were also posted in the market. Everyone knew that a public trial would be held tomorrow, and the entire capital was waiting for the next day.
