The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 182 Anti-General Army

Xiao Jingtian's body trembled almost invisible, "I dare not."

Ning Yuezhao squinted her eyes, did this evil star turn sexual today?

Just now Lansha told her that Xiao Jingtian entered the palace alone, without any weapons or subordinates, which was inconsistent with his usual direct and rough style.

Seeing that Xiao Jingtian did not challenge the empress as usual, Yang Yushi and the others were also puzzled, but because they were facing Xiao Jingtian, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ning Yuezhao calmly picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.She is sitting, and the people below are either kneeling or standing, as long as they are not too tired, she is willing to spend time with them.

"Your Majesty is like this, I can only remonstrate with death!"

Seeing that Xiao Jingtian did not unite with him, Yang Yushi had no choice but to stand up, but because he knelt for too long, his legs softened and he fell down, paralyzed on the ground.

The corners of Ning Yuezhao's mouth twitched slightly, "What is Yang Aiqing doing?"

It seems that it is also good for her to let these people kneel down.

"Master Yang!" The people kneeling around him quickly helped him up.

Yang Yushi's face was flushed, he originally wanted to show his ambition by butting his head against the pillar, but instead of making a fool of himself because of numbness in his legs.

Xiao Jingtian glanced at the woman on the throne who had a strange expression because she was holding back a smile, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty."

Hearing Xiao Jingtian's deep voice, Yang Yushi, who was being supported by everyone, had a glimmer of hope again, and he looked at Xiao Jingtian full of hope.

"En." Ning Yuezhao responded softly. At this time, Zhuyun had already replaced a cup of hot tea for her. She picked it up, but she was not in a hurry to drink it. She just used the tea lid to slowly stir the tea foam .

"I just came from the west of the city, and the fire in the Green Bamboo Hall has been extinguished. Yin Luji of Shuntian Mansion is leading all the people in the mansion to investigate the case at the scene of the incident, and Miss Yan who is involved in this case is now also imprisoned in the prison of Shuntian Mansion." .”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingtian turned to Yang Yushi, "If you dare to ask Yang Yushi, if this is considered covering up, how can you not cover up?"

Yang Yushi did not expect Xiao Jingtian to speak for the empress, his eyes widened in shock.

The rest of the people present were also stunned. The person who has always been the most antagonistic to the Empress actually speaks for her today. Will the sun come out from the west tomorrow?

Ning Yuezhao also paused when she moved the tea foam. Qingchi was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion because she knew about it a long time ago, but she can't reveal that she left the palace without authorization in the afternoon, otherwise even if Qingchi has been detained, these people will feel that there is something tricky in it .

So she sent another person to the west of the city to inquire about the latest situation, and when the person she sent came back to reply, she would be able to stop the mouths of such "death-oriented" people.Who knew that Xiao Jingtian would speak for her uncharacteristically, these things coming out of his mouth would make these people even more speechless.

Seeing these people who were already stunned, one knew how outstanding the effect of Xiao Jingtian's opening was.

Ning Yuezhao put down the teacup, and said calmly: "All the ministers, do you still have any dissatisfaction with Shuntian Mansion?"

At Zuijinzhao in the afternoon, Lu Ji confessed to Ning Yuezhao that his heart belongs to Qingchi, and now he is betting on his black yarn for her, it can be said that he is desperate.

Yang Yushi was still in a daze, and Pei Guogong had already reacted, "Your Majesty, I can wait for three days in Shuntian Mansion! But tomorrow is the day when the palace examination will be released. According to the old practice of our dynasty, the tributes are not on the list. Now Yan Qingchi Involved in this extremely vicious arson murder case, how can such a person be named on the gold list? If he is not removed from the list, how will the people of the world view the royal family's talent acquisition?"

Zhongyong Hou also said: "Your Majesty! Scholars can enter the court as officials. If they don't have the basic benevolence, how can they assist the king and benefit the people in the future? Yan Qingchi must be removed from the list of Jinshi!"

The words of Pei Guogong and Zhongyonghou made those officials who were already timid see hope again.They came here tonight specifically for impeachment, and they are really not reconciled to returning without success.

Ning Yuezhao glanced down, and sneered, "The imperial examination was made before the murder, and the list of Jinshi was also made before the incident. Now Shuntian Mansion has not yet heard the case, and Yan Qingchi is only involved in this matter. Since his crime has not been determined, Why should he be removed from the Jinshi list?"

"Your Majesty!" The one who spoke at this moment was He Shu from the Ministry of Rites, who was also Xu Zhi's protégé, "Yan Qingchi is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, but a woman who is waiting for her husband hangs around the small house, regardless of her Whether he is finally convicted or not, in terms of his character alone, he is not worthy of merit!"

When the rankings are released tomorrow, Yan Qingchi's No. [-] Scholar will be confirmed. Even if she is proven guilty later, Xu Miaoyun will not be able to top her No. [-] Scholar title after the top three rankings have been determined.But it was inconvenient for Xu Zhi to come forward tonight, so he could only ask his disciples to come forward, trying to remove Yan Qingchi from the Jinshi list tonight!

Ning Yuezhao's delicate eyebrows raised lightly, "Going to the Xiaoguan's house is a loss of personal morality? Then I will decree that the Shuntian Mansion does not need to investigate any more. Such a person who has no benevolence and righteousness is not worthy of being a son of man, and not worthy of enjoying the benefits given by the court." Honor and favor!"

Duke Pei and Marquis Zhongyong were both honored and honored. If they asked Ning Yuezhao to remove Qingchi from the Jinshi list because of their lack of virtue, it would be tantamount to saying that their dead son was also an unfaithful and unfilial person.There is no justice for such a person, and they are always laughing at fifty steps.In particular, these two families now have no real jobs, relying on the halo of the hereditary titles left by their ancestors. If they don't even have this title, then they don't even have a place to stand in the imperial capital.

At that moment, the two looked at He Shu with unfriendly eyes, and they quickly changed the direction of the wind.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. Whether Yan Qingchi's reputation will survive or not depends on the results of the Shuntian Mansion's investigation."

"I said before that it's not a big problem to linger in the small hall. Besides, Miss Yan Yunying is not married, so even if she likes to go there, it doesn't hinder anything. I think the key is whether Miss Yan set the green bamboo hall on fire. The real culprit of the case!"

Compared to whether Qing Chi is a female champion, it is not important to Pei Guogong and Zhongyong Hou. They just want to seek justice for their dead son.

He Shu didn't expect these two people to change their minds so quickly, and when they looked at the other officials who came with them, they all showed retreat.

Seeing that the alliance of these people began to disintegrate, Ning Yuezhao suddenly remembered something and said: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten to let everyone get up, let's get up."

These people had been kneeling outside the palace for a long time, but after entering the palace, the empress "forgot" to ask them to get up, and their legs had long been unconscious.But the empress said that she was flat, if they could not afford to kneel again, they would become dissatisfied with the empress' decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

So, although the movements were a little ugly, the officials who had entered the palace overnight got up one after another, for fear that they would be mistaken for continuing to confront the empress if they were too late.

He Shu saw that the alliance had been divided, and it was meaningless for him to persist alone, so he also stood up. Although the movement was a bit slow, everyone had been kneeling for so long, and it was reasonable to say that he couldn't get up immediately because of the numbness of his legs and feet. of.

Looking at the officials in the hall who were trying to stand up straight, Ning Yuezhao smiled, "It's getting late, I still have government affairs to deal with, so let's all step back."

"Yes, I will leave!"

They came in a threatening manner, but they were turned back by the empress. Now they were dejected and wished to leave immediately.

After everyone left the Palace of Political Affairs, Xiao Jingtian was still standing there.

He raised his hand to look at Ning Yuezhao, who was sitting on the head. He hadn't seen her for a few months. She lost her willful behavior and became more stable. She was no longer the immature king who was held hostage by courtiers.

"People are not sages, so no one has faults. Do you insist on holding on to my mistakes in the past, even denying my future?"

That's what she said in front of the tablets of the emperors of Daxing in Fengxian Hall back then.The words at that time were still in my ears, and now she is gradually growing up, like a famous sword that has been tempered, and its edge is gradually emerging.

The person who made her change was Jiang Nian.

Xiao Jingtian couldn't help frowning slightly when he thought of that smiling face, always calm and composed.

"General Xiao, what advice do you have?"

Ning Yuezhao was a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Jingtian's inexplicable eyes, so she asked.

Xiao Jingtian was slightly taken aback, he actually had nothing to say.It's just that he suddenly realized that some of his long-term actions might have been wrong in front of the Green Bamboo Pavilion just now, so he left with his soldiers.

At that time, the soldier he reprimanded wanted to suggest that he also join the team that entered the palace to force the emperor to severely punish Yan Qingchi, so he sent away all his subordinates and asked them to wait in the camp tomorrow to receive the punishment according to military regulations.As for himself, he entered the palace by accident and said those words to save her.

"General Xiao?"

Ning Yuezhao saw that Xiao Jingtian still looked absent-minded, so she called him again, full of doubts in her stomach.

Did this guy run into something evil today?

Xiao Jingtian coughed twice, and said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty, when will you let my mother go home?"

Ning Yuezhao narrowed her eyes, "The general has been back to Beijing for nearly two months, and he has never visited the old lady in the palace. This time, he actually forgot about the old lady. It's really rare."

If Xiao Jingtian hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, she would have almost forgotten that such a person was imprisoned in the palace.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Jing's face, and he immediately returned to normal, "I'm busy with affairs in the army, so I was negligent. It's just that it's more convenient for me to take my mother back to the mansion to take care of me. I hope Your Majesty will fulfill my little minister's filial piety." .”

Ning Yuezhao said kindly, "The imperial doctor said that the old lady's health is fine. General Xiao can take her home. It's just that it's too late tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone to take her out of the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingtian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally covered up the embarrassment.

Before leaving the Palace of Political Affairs, he couldn't help but glanced at the person on the throne again, with a complicated look on his face.

But at this time, he still doesn't know how big a storm he will bring about with one of his actions.

　Recently, I have been as busy as fighting a war. There are too many things to do, and the update is a bit lacking in energy. Please forgive me.
