Chapter 710: Invitation to Merit
As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Tang Chu beside Zhao Jizhu, the other party was wearing a cloak, and at this time he had long forgotten to tidy up his appearance, but there was no pickiness and displeasure in the eyes of everyone looking at her.
Not only these ladies who were protected by Tang Chu, but even the ministers on the opposite side all saw it, if Tang Chu hadn't blocked it with a hairpin just now, maybe Concubine Zhu would have died on the spot.
At this time, Zhao Zhenzhu also walked quickly in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Miss Tang just now, maybe you wouldn't have seen your concubines again!" ”
Zhao Zhenzhu rarely speaks like this, but it is always distressing for beauties to cry, and the emperor is like this now.
And after Zhao Zhenzhu snorted twice, he continued, "Miss Tang just told her concubine that the identities of these people can be found out!" ”
"What do you mean?" Several civil servants asked.
Tang Chu took a step forward, knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter really sees who these people are?" ”
"Oh, how do you know?" The Emperor asked.
Not only was he puzzled, but even the other ministers didn't know that Tang Chu, a little woman, knew who these people who broke into the palace and assassinated them today?
Zou Shiyan looked at Tang Chu, and then at the dead corpses on the ground.
There are no living mouths, and the forbidden army has just searched the bodies of these people, and there are no tokens.
Tang Chu stepped forward under everyone's puzzled gaze, looked at Zou Shiyan and smiled, "Back to Your Majesty, this matter is still the credit of General Zou!" ”
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes shifted to Zou Shiyan, but Zou Shiyan himself didn't know what was going on.
He looked at Tang Chu and said confidently, "The last time General Zou returned to Suizhou, the folk girl was very curious about why she was able to win the battle in the northwest battlefield, and asked a lot of local people about the customs and people's feelings, and then I knew that the people of Pingyi Country had a common problem!" ”
"What's the common problem?" The emperor was suddenly interested.
Tang Chu walked forward and asked Zou Shiyan to lift the collar of one of the dead corpses.
Everyone didn't know why, and some of the ladies couldn't help but cover their eyes when they saw Zou Shiyan untying the man's collar.
The others, however, had a few bold people, and when they saw Tang Chu, the little woman, they were not afraid, so they fixed their eyes on the past.
When Zou Shiyan asked Tang Chu to lift the collar of the deceased, he seemed to remember something, and looked at Tang Chu with bright eyes.
The two glanced at each other, and the tacit understanding was improved at this moment, and there was no need to say anything at all, Zou Shiyan already knew what Tang Chu meant.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Tang Chu pointed to the neck of the deceased and said.
The emperor's gaze shifted to the past, and basically nothing unusual was seen, and there were no scars or tattoos on the person's neck, so basically nothing could be seen.
And some of the civil servants have already lost their voices and shouted, "Why are their necks so thick? ”
Thick neck?
Everyone else also looked over carefully, including the few ladies who were blocking their eyes out of fear.
So, people kept walking forward on the top of the main hall, and at this time no one was afraid to look at a dead person, but what surprised them even more was that it was not only the assassin who General Zou had just lifted the collar, but the emperor later asked the forbidden army to lift the collar of the corpses of other dead assassins on the ground, and the tightly wrapped necks were exposed.
"I once heard that some inland countries, because of the lack of salt, are more likely to get a rare disease, called big neck disease, and I actually saw it today!" An official stepped forward and said.
"Yes, this lord is right, the people just heard that because the people of Pingyi Country are not in the coastal area, inland transportation is not easy, and when the people of their country invade the villages in the surrounding border areas, the first thing they rob is not gold, silver and jewelry, that is, salt." Tang Chu said.
"Miss Tang is really smart! Admire under it! The adult said with a smile.
And at this time, some people also came forward to praise Zou Shiyan for having such a smart fiancée.
Most of the officials still looked at the emperor's face and spoke, they saw that the emperor gave Tang Chu a chance to speak, and when Tang Chu judged that these assassins were all from the Pingyi Kingdom, they also showed appreciative eyes, and they knew that this time Zou Shiyan and his fiancée were going to become celebrities in front of the emperor!
"Okay, since there are traces of this matter, then send someone to surround the residence of the envoys of the Pingyi Kingdom in the capital, and no one is allowed to go out, in addition, the order is to go down, the gate of the capital is closed, and it is not allowed to be opened within a day, and all these people's comrades must be found!"
The emperor's majestic voice echoed throughout the hall, and the courtiers immediately knelt down in response.
Everyone can see that the emperor is angry today, but he didn't say anything because there were no casualties.
At this time, Zhao Zhenzhu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now that you know the identities of the assassins, the banquet has also ended, but Miss Tang has saved the concubines and protected so many female dependents, you haven't rewarded others yet!" ”
"Sister Zhufei, is this helping Miss Tang to invite credit?" Concubine Yun's voice came from the emperor's side.
Zhao Zhenzhu blinked, looked over unhappily, and she knew that it must be Concubine Yun, the annoying person, who was intercepting.
Invite merit, this is not a good word, the emperor also hates others to invite merit, there was once a general who led troops to fight outside because of the invitation to merit and was remembered by the emperor, and then a little thing happened to the general, which could have been revealed, but the emperor did not open the net.
"I can't afford to invite merit, Tang Chu thinks that as a member of the Apocalypse Country, it is appropriate to protect the emperor, protect the mother, and protect everyone, even if he meets an ordinary person outside, Tang Chu will come forward." Tang Chu said first.
Zhao Jizhu has said enough for her today, if she continues to say it, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor has no other ideas.
The emperor didn't speak, and after Concubine Yun said the two words of invitation, he kept a straight face.
Suddenly, he laughed, "Tang Chu, have you studied martial arts?" ”
Tang Chu didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question.
Without any other considerations, Tang Chu immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the folk girl doesn't know martial arts, it's just some means of self-preservation in the discipline." ”
"Yes, women should also master the ability of self-protection like you, otherwise they will only stand behind others when they encounter things!"
The emperor said thoughtfully, he didn't know how those ladies felt when these words were heard, after all, they were the ones who were hiding behind the crowd just now.
And Tang Chu also protected these people just now, so he simply offset a lot of misunderstandings.
