(Congratulations to the reader "Captain Flying Dutchman" for becoming the leader of this book.) Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info)

Du Wei is the highest general of the country, but there are not many soldiers under his command, and there are even fewer people who are willing to follow the main general to the soup, Deng Cui, the commander of the country, led more than 30 soldiers, including more than ten slaves, smoothly entered the palace, and suddenly pulled out a hidden blade outside the gate of the residence of the champion Mrs. Hou, and launched a charge.

The guards guarding the gate and the four honor guards sent by the emperor were shocked, thinking that they could scare away a madman like Yin Xiaoyan'er just by standing here and holding their heads high, but they never expected that it would be a group of people who rushed in, and the leader was a famous general.

The battle unfolded, and the unprepared side was immediately routed, the emperor's guard of honor was tall and mighty, but the halberd in his hand was wooden, and there were only four people, and he did not dare to stop the group of people like wolves and tigers, and quietly stepped aside, did not participate, did not escape, and pretended not to see the scene in front of him.

It was the gate that blocked Deng Cui and the others, and Mrs. Ping Enhou was more vigilant, and as soon as she heard the noise outside, she immediately ordered the maids to latch and find tables, chairs and benches to block the door.

There were still a few royal ladies who came to accompany them, and they were all frightened, and when they heard that the person who came was Deng Cui, they were all inexplicable.

Mrs. Ping Enhou is also inexplicable, she and her third sister Cui Zhao traveled thousands of miles to send the son of the champion Hou, although it is just an excuse, but there is also a little hard work, a few days ago Deng Cui also sent his wife to thank him, how to say that he turned his face?

Deng Cui ordered to smash the door, but the news had already spread, and hundreds of elite soldiers from the southern and northern armies quickly arrived, and they took down Deng Cui and others without bloodshed.

The whole farce lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and although the courtyard gate was damaged, it was not breached, but the impact of the matter was great.

First of all, Cui Zhaolian was frightened, he really couldn't get out of bed, and he couldn't stop crying, lamenting his miserable fate.

The second is the acting king, he had to get up from the bed with a hangover, and ran to ask the emperor for guilt, Deng Cui is not only the acting lieutenant of the country, but also his brother-in-law, and he made trouble in the palace, which is really unforgivable, the acting king does not intercede for him, but only hopes that his family will not be implicated.

Liu Jie, the central supervisor, finally couldn't bear it, if there were a few more similar things, he was afraid that even the emperor's safety would be lost, so he expelled the entire family of the king from the palace, and the emperor's guards took over the entire palace, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the strictness of the guard was no less than that of the palace.

Cui Zhao stayed in the palace, and if there was another accident, he could only complain about the emperor.

But there is one thing that no one has figured out, why did Deng Cui turn his face? Even at the expense of their status and future?

The torturer Zhang Jing failed to make meritorious service in Luoyang, this time the action was extremely fast, and the acting king was still lying on the ground to plead guilty, he had already interrogated a circle, figured out the general reason, and came to report to the emperor.

The obese king prostrate on the ground, snorting with a handful of snot and tears to bitter Chen Deng Cui's disobedience and rudeness, as well as his own lax discipline, while asking for guilt, he also put the blame on his wife and brother alone.

Han Ruzi had long been tired of listening, for the sake of the elders, he endured it until now, and when he saw Zhang Jing coming in, he immediately waved his hand to let the eunuchs help the acting king aside, and then asked, "Zhang Jing, have you checked clearly?" ”

Zhang Jing took a few steps forward, "Deng Cui, the acting lieutenant of the country, refused to speak, but his soldiers and servants all confessed, and it is said that Deng Cui is avenging the champion Hou." ”

"Huh?" Several people in the room asked questions at the same time.

Cui Teng was forced to stay by the emperor, and he was even more furious at this time, "Nonsense, my sister is the champion Mrs. Hou, Deng Cui shouldn't look for her if he wants revenge, he should ......"

Cui Teng glanced at the King of the East China Sea, it was rumored in the capital that the person who poisoned the champion Hou was the daughter of the Tan family, but this matter was very involved, and even he didn't dare to mention it.

The acting king, who was kneeling on the side, raised his head, wiped away a few tears from his face, and said in surprise: "No, Deng Cui is obviously very grateful to the champion Mrs. Hou, and has sent his wife to visit several times and give a lot of gifts. ”

Zhang Jing bowed his head and said nothing.

Han Ruzi waved his hand, and the eunuchs asked the king to step down, leaving only the guards and a few people in the room.

Zhang Jing then said: "The acting king is right, Deng Cui was very grateful to the champion Mrs. Hou, but since the incident last night, rumors have spread that the champion Hou died in ...... At the hand of Madame, it is even said that the son of the champion Hou has long been killed, and the baby sent to Daiguo is a fake. ”

Han Ruzi was stunned, "What is the reason?" ”

"The rumor is so, no one mentions the reason, and everyone seems to think that this matter is logical. Some people said that the Deng family was in decline and was suppressed by the Cui family, and Deng Cui was furious because of this, feeling that he had been deceived......"

Cui Teng was so angry that his face turned red, "Who?" You tell me, who dares to talk nonsense like that? ”

Zhang Jing still bowed his head, "It's just a rumor, and the source hasn't been found out yet." There is also a saying that Deng Cui has seen the champion Mrs. Hou, so ...... Also bewitched. ”

Cui Teng has never been so angry, "Your Majesty, let me investigate the case, even if Jincheng is turned upside down, I will arrest all those who chew their tongues, and don't let the entire Jincheng shut up, I don't have the surname Cui!" ”

"You don't think it's big enough?" Han Ruzi was also very angry in his heart, annoyed that these powerful families did not distinguish between priorities and urgency, and Da Chu was in danger, but they were still thinking about their own honor and disgrace, even if Deng Cui really had the talent of a general, he would not reuse it, "Zhang Jing, this matter will be handled by you, negotiate with Daiguo, and deal with it according to the law." ”

"Yes." Zhang Jing bowed and retreated, the emperor's sentence "You still don't think it's big enough" had already reassured him and knew what to do.

Cui Teng was not satisfied, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, things can't just end like this, someone is obviously targeting the Cui family......"

The king of the East China Sea on the opposite side made a look, Cui Teng was not stupid at this time, and immediately reacted, "It's also aimed at Your Majesty!" Otherwise, why be involved in the death of the champion Hou? ”

"Needless to say." Han Ruzi also felt that the rumors were coming too violently, but he didn't want to make a big fuss, "There is a rebellion inside, there are Huns outside, the country is in danger, and other things are not worth paying too much attention to." Cui Teng, I don't allow you to investigate the case in private, let alone seek revenge in private, understand? ”

"But ......"

"If you dare to fight again, no matter what the reason, I will leave you on the frontier, and you will not be allowed to return to Beijing for ten years, and if you want to fight, you will have enough to fight with the Huns."

"Ah...... What if someone hits me first? ”

"Bear with me." Han Ruzi said bluntly, he didn't believe that anyone dared to reach out to hit Cui Teng first.

Cui Teng's face turned even redder, and the king of the East China Sea said, "Cui Teng, don't you want to thank Your Majesty?" ”

"Huh?" Cui Teng's eyes widened.

"What temper do you not know? Your Majesty doesn't allow you to investigate the case, because you are afraid that you will do bad things, and if you change someone, Your Majesty will not care, so you will be asked to investigate, make trouble, and cause trouble. Can the officials of the Criminal Department understand such a big matter? Just wait. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Teng said reluctantly, he was still not angry in his heart, but he was really afraid of the emperor and didn't dare to argue.

Liu Jie brought news that the vanguard of the Northern Army had arrived outside the city and was camping and waiting for His Majesty to review.

This is something that Han Ruzi has decided a long time ago, he is very happy to be able to go out of the city to get along with real soldiers, Jincheng is like a shrunken capital, which makes him feel suffocated, if it is not for too many objections, he even wants to move to the barracks.

There were 3,000 people in the vanguard of the northern army, who did not take off their armor and horses, and lined up to welcome the emperor, who had just been rewarded in the capital and were summoned to the side by the emperor, which was a greater glory, so the shouting "Long live" was particularly loud.

The depression in Han Ruzi's heart was swept away.

Cui Teng's depression did not decrease at all, and while the emperor discussed the military situation with the generals of the Northern Army, he quietly returned to the city.

But he didn't know who to find to vent his anger, Deng Cui and the others were strictly guarded, he couldn't see anyone at all, he rode around on horseback, and saw people gathering and chatting on the street, he felt that he was talking about the Cui family.

It was getting dark, Cui Teng returned to the palace, he really couldn't find anyone to be angry, he planned to count down his sister a few words: Don't stay in the capital, why did you come all the way to Jincheng? Provoke so much gossip.

There were more guards at the door, and they all recognized Cui Teng, and they didn't stop them.

The ladies of the palace had already left, and Mrs. Ping Enhou was in the living room, and as soon as she saw Cui Teng, she greeted her, "Good brother, you are here, I am looking for you." ”

"What are you looking for me? What about my sister? I'm going to talk to her. ”

Seeing that Cui Teng's face was not good, Mrs. Ping Enhou stopped in front, "The third sister is asleep, how do you think she has experienced this kind of thing?" The soul was scared away, and I told her to rest early. ”

Cui Teng's sharpness disappeared all of a sudden, and he found a chair to sit down, "Someone is targeting the Cui family, and the emperor doesn't believe it, but I can feel that the Cui family has not fallen, which must have disappointed many people." ”

"What did Your Majesty say?" Mrs. Pingenhou was most concerned about this matter.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty asked the officials of the Criminal Department to investigate the case, and I am not allowed to interfere."

"What about the third sister? Your Majesty didn't say anything? ”

"What can Your Majesty say? Neither of them had ever met. ”

Mrs. Pingenhou frowned slightly, "I can guess who is behind the evil." ”

"Who is it?" Cui Teng stood up and didn't ask her how she guessed.

"Piano master Zhang Zhuhe and his so-called daughter."

Cui Teng was stunned, "What's the matter with their father and daughter?" ”

"Hey, I heard that the piano girl is good at charming, it seems that the good brother is also tempted."

"Don't talk nonsense, she is the pianist personally ordered by His Majesty, who dares to ......"

"That's right, who dares? The third sister just wanted to see His Majesty, but she was afraid and covered with so many rumors. ”

Cui Teng still didn't believe it, "Zhang Qinyan is mute, Zhang Zhuhe is an old man who doesn't like to talk, how can he manipulate such a big rumor?" ”

"Maybe they've been helped."

"Luoyang Hou?"

"It's possible, everyone understands that whoever can obtain His Majesty's favor will be invincible in the future, and the Marquis of Luoyang will have a deep meaning when he presents the piano girl."

Cui Teng shook his head, "It's useless, Your Majesty only likes Sister Xiaojun." ”

"Hehe, my good brother, you are still a master in the Fengyue Field, Your Majesty likes Sister Xiaojun, but can you spoil her forever?"

Cui Teng thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Luoyang Hou ......" He still didn't want to direct his anger at Zhang Qinyan.

Mrs. Ping Enhou didn't care, when she was still in the capital, she and Lao Jun decided not to tell Cui Teng the truth, but they had to use it when it was time to use it, "The Cui family can't be defeated." ”

"Of course, you can't lose."

"It's an advantage that you can stay with Your Majesty, and you must find ways to prevent the Qin Nu from meeting Your Majesty alone."

"This is not difficult, Your Majesty does not want to ...... at all"

"Don't take it for granted, the emperor also has a temporary moment, don't let the qin girl take advantage of the situation, I got the news that Liu Jie was bought by the qin master, you have to beware of him from making bad things."

"Luoyang Hou is so ambitious? I should have told Your Majesty. ”

"No, we don't have evidence yet, just make sure that Your Majesty is not seduced by the piano girl."

"Okay, I'll listen to the eldest sister, and I'll clean up Luoyang Hou in the future." With a clear enemy, Cui Teng felt much better.

"Good brother, my father will fight for your son, give him some anger, and treat Master Qin and his daughter as enemies."

"Enemy." Cui Teng said firmly, thinking of Zhang Qinyan's moving eyes, he was not so firm. (To be continued.) )
